    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

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!
