Beschreibung

Dear (never-been-quite-over-you) Crush,
It's been a few years since we were together,
but I can't stop thinking about the time we almost...
Wren Roland has never been kissed, but he wants that movie-perfect ending more than anything. Feeling nostalgic on the eve of his birthday, he sends emails to all the boys he (ahem) loved before he came out. Morning brings the inevitable Oh God What Did I Do?, but he brushes that panic aside. Why stress about it? None of his could-have-beens are actually going to read the emails, much less respond. Right?
Enter Derick Haverford, Wren's #1 pre-coming-out-crush and his drive-in theater's new social media intern. Everyone claims he's coasting on cinematic good looks and his father's connections, but Wren has always known there's much more to Derick than meets the eye. Too bad he doesn't feel the same way about the infamous almost-kiss that once rocked Wren's world.
Whatever. Wren's no longer a closeted teenager; he can survive this. But as their hazy summer becomes consumed with a special project that may just save the struggling drive-in for good, Wren and Derick are drawn ever-closer…and maybe, finally, Wren's dream of a perfect-kiss-before-the-credits is within reach.
A feel-good summer LGBTQIA+ New Adult RomCom, perfect for fans of Red White & Royal Blue, Boyfriend Material, and What If It's Us.

First of all: a demisexual character??? Well-written??? And then the story is good??? Wren has just finished college and yet he has never been kissed. He's had a few almosts, but never anything that came from it. Drunk on his birthday, he thinks it's a good idea to send out the emails addressed to his almosts that he once wrote to cope with those experiences. Then it turns out that he will have to work with one of these past crushes at his summer job. Additionally, he doesn't know what to do with his life, now that he finished his film studies degree. He can't work at Wiley's drive-in forever (not even sure if the drive-in can continue to exist without going bankrupt), but the one project he has seems impossible. And then, there's the question of his sexuality. He already came out as gay earlier, but now it feels like that might not be the whole truth... The first two thirds of this book are awesome and I fell so in love with it. The slow-burn romance between two now-out young adults that missed their chance as closeted teenagers, Wren's quest to get a reclused former film director back into the public, their quest to save the drive-in and Wren's journey of finding out that sometimes coming out is not the end of your self-discovery. At the two third mark of this book, the romance plot, the sexuality plot, and the plot with the director wrapped up. Then, for a while, it felt like a very extended epilogue, which bored me a bit. And even tho we got back to finding out that the drive-in actually needs to be saved more urgently than expected and Derick's issues with his family, in comparison to the previous two thirds of the book that were jam-packed with plot, this last third felt a lot less exciting. In overall, this is still a very good book that I'm very excited about (I repeat: a well-written book with a well-written demisexual character), but the last third wasn't quite as good as the previous parts of the book.
