There's so much beauty in this story. For me it isn't as rich as it could've been (language, feelings) and the end seems rushed, but honestly? It's one of the best free stories out there so don't hesitate. (

I used to steer clear of short stories/novellas, but it seems they’re all I’ve been reading lately. (

Wow. This was so super cute! I loved the struggle of Oscar having feelings for his best friend, and Jamie coming to terms with how he feels about Oscar. Most of the book was Oscar getting the nerve to follow his dreams, but he was terrified of losing Jamie. Their coming together was so freaking sweet, and I absolutely loved it (and them). Really loved this. (
