If you're looking for a cute, entertaining, slow burn, clean romance this this is for you!

This book follows the MMC, Nick, and his friendship turns romance with the FMC, Haley. The main characters were loveable and and both grew throughout the book. I like that the author focused on a character with a disability (cerebral palsy), as I think there were lots of lessons to be learned by the characters in the book but also for the reader, and I don't think we see characters with disabilities highlighted often, especially in romance reads.

For this author's debut, great job! And bonus points for mentioning Nick reading one of my favorite authors, Louise Penny, at the end!

Note: I listened to this on audiobook and the narrator was perfect for this.

Thanks to Jason B. Dutton and Dreamscape Media for providing me with this ARC audiobook.

I loved that the main character has a disability I wish there was more books that address disabilities in a normalizing manner. The relationship was a little cringy sometimes due to the main character being in a relationship. The characters were people I would want to hang out with though.

This book was so cute. I loved the relationships in this book between friends and family and of course between Nick & Hayley! I was smiling and laughing while at work listening to this audiobook.

There were times when Nick & Hayley’s miscommunication made me want to shake them and yell “JUST TALK TO EACH OTHER!” and i will say i was getting a little annoyed but they’re just too cute i can’t not love them.

Nick is the absolute sweetest person ever. The way he is with his niece makes me want to cry. He’s such a good uncle and you can just tell how much his niece loves him.

“You choose the sky all the time”

This was such a sweet read. Both Nick and Hayley were lovable main characters as they worked through their own individual conflicts while leaning on each other. Nick's experience with cerebral palsy was authentic and moving, and I enjoyed Hayley's growth as she found what it meant to find a rhythm that's worth the work.

This was a great #ownvoices debut featuring a MMC with cerebral palsy and his journey of self-love and romantic love as he falls for a dancer coworker who's already in a relationship and she helps him with the giant chip on his shoulder.

On the surface this was a fun friends to lovers romance but it also had a lot of depth and great disability rep. Good on audio and definitely one not to miss. Many thanks to NetGalley and the publisher for an early digital and audio copy in exchange for my honest review!
