Five years of pining? Worth it.
okay Tiller Raine is genuinely one of the sweetest book boyfriends: in his eyes Mikey can do nothing wrong, and he appreciates him in a way that nobody else in Mikey’s life does, which honestly had me in a chokehold. The chemistry between these two feels completely natural, and the little quiet moments in Aster Valley do more for the romance than any grand gesture could. The Friends-to-Lovers slow burn after five years of mutual pining is so satisfying when it finally pays off. A very cozy, very swoony read.
