Refreshing

After being in a long term relationship for so long, I forgot what it was like to first start out.

And this is exactly it! I love the anxiety, the concerns, it really takes me back to when I first started dating around

A lot of take-home lessons

I really loved this one. It’s so realistic and gives you a lot of lessons to learn from. Even the not so good situations are being shown and it’s not all blinded positivity from every character.

They all show character reflections and its nice being able to relate to some of the characters when placed in certain situations. The way the author shows different perspectives of every character makes you appreciate their growth even more and it feels like I’m close to them as I continue to read their stories. I’m so glad I bought the chapters and kept going. The story did not disappoint it was consistent but at the same time there’s something to look forward to ☺️

So human

I love how varied and interconnected each character is. So many different t personalities and they're all very realistic viewpoints. This slice of life explores a Web of office workers and their life outside of work.

Amazing and slightly personal

This is phenomenal and surprises me with how heartfelt each individual’s scenario is. However, at the same time I feel it hits a little too close to home which I guess is why it’s so good.

Absolutely hooked!

I’ve read all the parts since the free offer, and am genuinely unable to put it down. I love how it deals with different life experiences, but I do love its treatment of the main two protagonists the most. The sexual stuff is tasteful and plot-driven, absolutely not for the sake of it! The series also deals well with sensitive topics, which I really wasn’t expecting. Am absolutely delighted and will definitely be re-reading until the next volume comes out!!

Explores the sides of humans well; captivating!!

(I've read to ch 48.) This story explores so many different lives and perspectives, and makes each point of view so heartfelt and genuine. Even if you haven't been in the same situation you feel your heartstrings tug, and you feel empathy for their situation. One thing I really loved so far is that the characters are all intertwined. Not that they are involved in each other's issues exactly... but I dislike when you get a conclusion for the main plot, and the series takes a sudden shift to another side character's story and you never hear about the previous one until they are the "new" side character. Each point of view is mirrored with each other's lives as they work in the same office, and it makes you feel something for all of them. The pacing when switching the featured characters is also excellent. It doesn't feel abrupt and is tied in through smart and natural transitions. There were moments where I thought "Argh! You gotta tell them how you feel!", and I'm happy to say that those misunderstanding subplots do not drag on excessively, which is a pet peeve of mine. I couldn't stop reading this series, and I cannot wait for more!

Surprisingly good!

I didn't expect much when I started reading, but this could be one of the best slices of life I have read recently. The sexual part is essential to the plot, not just for views.

Poignant slice of life

The author has a way of understanding the nuances of the human condition that make you feel both seen and uncomfortably exposed when you read their character depictions. It takes real talent to do that. Even when you’re given the window into someone’s selfishness or motivations, they’re written in a way that makes you find the character endearing anyhow. I couldn’t put the story down!

it's honestly kept my attention the whole time and I look forward to new chapters when they come out. the characters are well fleshed out / complex and I feel like I get a good look into all of their lives, tho I'm mostly enjoying the main storyline. I'm rooting for them!!

I'd love to have this in print someday

Pretty good

I think its pretty well written and I like the complex characters cuz it's not just about the mature scenes but the characters individually as they figure stuff out (I haven't read the whole thing yet but so far it's been good)

Surprisingly addictive

I didn't think I'd get so sucked into this story the way I am now. It's so well written and quite deep with its characters. I would 100% recommend this to anyone/everyone else.

Complex Characters

I love how we slowly get to know a lot of the characters. There’s more than one love story going on, and even beyond love, there’s friendship. Overall it’s a really sweet story about many types of relationships. The way it switches perspectives between the main characters adds extra depth to the world.
