This book is in fact sweet as honey.
Truman Sweet in a beekeeper costume being chased down a highway and then immediately becoming the most lovable sunshine nerd in romance history?? His inner monologues alone are worth the price of admission and watching him slowly grow into his own confidence with Sam’s quiet, respectful support is genuinely so wholesome it hurts. What makes their dynamic work is that Sam is caring and protective without ever steamrolling Truman. He treats him like the capable adult he is, which honestly? Healthy representation we love to see. The found family of queer friends rallying around Truman in his roughest moments adds so much warmth and the mystery/whodunit subplot is actually fun this time.
