Probably my least favorite Cat Sebastian book but even my least favorite Cat Sebastian book is an enjoyable read. Part one felt like a complete novella unto itself, with Alex and Daniel, who are already inseparable friends, realizing that they both have feelings for each other and working out how to be a couple. Part two felt like an extended version of a romance epilogue, the kind of thing that in an m/f romance (or even a modern day m/m romance) would show you the wedding that the characters didn't get to in the main body of the story or present you with the kids that they had afterwards. It shows you how the life they build together turns out after the matter of their getting together is settled, except that it's an 80 page part two of the book instead of just an epilogue. That said, the characters are wonderful and I'm sure I'll include it in rereads of the entire series. ( ) Only Cat Sebastian could have come up with these two goofballs. Honestly. :) This is a wonderful story set in the 1970s in NYC, and if you are in need of a low-angst, endearing romance, here it is. Bonus, it's well-edited. There are a couple instances of Alex's name where Daniel's should be, easily mentally corrected. Alex's point of view is just a delight. Daniel is a huge cinnamon roll. Love it. I like that this is actually a very quiet book as the love between Daniel and Alex is already there; the flow (as there’s not really a plot) is how they figure out how to be together in a way that works for them. I appreciated the neurodiversity in Alex as I definitely understood his thoughts about things; there seemed to be more focus (it seemed to me) on Alex, although in reality there was more change in Daniel. no reviews | add a review

New York City, 1973. Daniel Cabot doesn't really know what he's doing with his life. He's lost faith in himself, his future, and maybe the world. The only things he knows that he cares about are the garden in the empty lot next to his crumbling East Village apartment building and his best friend.Alex Savchenko has always known that he's...difficult. Prickly, maybe, if you're feeling generous. But maybe that's the kind of personality it takes to start a low-income pediatrics clinic in one of Manhattan's most troubled neighborhoods. When Daniel stumbles into his life, Alex doesn't expect him to stay--most people don't. And when Alex develops useless, inconvenient feelings for his new friend, he does what he's always done, and tells himself that he isn't feeling anything at all. Daniel, though, has always worn his heart on his sleeve, and he isn't stopping now. Sometimes when things seem to be falling apart, it means there's room for something incredible to grow.
