    Fantastic Read
    What a great more modern and realistic take on romance. From love and dating to being married or single, they really explore each aspect and the pros and cons and how it weighs on each character. I really enjoy the personalities of everyone here, and I can't wait to keep reading

    Relatable and Surprisingly Nuanced!
    This review contains spoilers. I was looking for some silly romance and not only did I find it, but I stumbled on a treasure trove of a story! Not only does this series deal a lot with things like the complexity of adult life after only ever knowing what a relationship should look like on TV. Asexuality, grown up female friendships, and even acknowledging the way you treat others and adjusting accordingly! Amazing series so far, hopefully I'll be able to read more soon, as I ran out of free copies.

    Intriguing and Relatable
    Good read for adults in their late 20s/early 30s. Characters are all interesting and have layers to them. I found myself wanting to know more about who they are and what goes on in their lives. Mature and relatable, I would recommend.

Getting bare, getting real
Inexperience with sex, relationship troubles, dreams that never materialized. The author has a way of depicting interpersonal stories in a way that feels so real even if you haven't been in the characters' shoes. Speaking of which, the character designs are cute yet fitting for a more mature audience. It's also a breath of fresh air how the various storylines of the ensemble cast are interwoven seamlessly. There's our main couple, of course, but you also learn about various secondary characters from their own perspectives. These aren't one-and-done side stories either. You may be following a certain character in one "arc," but you'll still learn about the new developments in the other characters' lives. And that just makes them all the more relatable!
