What I Didn’t Like:

Warning if you need it: this is meant to accompany Not Quite Out. The characters and previous events are not recapped for you.
I wanted Will and Dan to trust each other not to break. I’d like to assume that is coming. They’re healing right now and healing takes time. But I need to tell myself that they become a healthy relationship that can trust the partner to not break at some point.
The characters do use each other’s names a bit more than is realistic. But that’s a minor thing, I think.

Characters. I didn’t read Not Quite Out. However, this novella packed enough of everyone’s personalities to help me fall in love with all of them. They’re well written and realistic. I loved them all!
Loved that the author chose to make these two a couple who are abstaining from sex by choice. This is never pitched as a bad thing, which in itself is a great message.
Adorable story. Definitely a cute vibe with a feel-good relationship story. I hear that Not Quite Out was a more serious book (which is obvious from the glimpses and hints you get during this book) but this has a very different feel. It feels healing and light.

Hopeless romantics who like an adorable love story (it is LGBTQ).
Anyone who wants more healing from Not Quite Out will love this journey for the characters.
