This book has my ENTIRE heart.

Marvin and Olan are the type of couple that's super easy to fall in love with. And their love story is such an important one to tell.

I don't want to spoil anything so I won't say any more than the story is about a teacher, Marvin, who might be crushing on the father of one of his students. What follows is a delightfully Jewish and Gay story filled with quotable moments, tear jerking discussions, and so many little Yiddishisms and Jewish moments thrown in that were SO. RELATABLE. AND. REAL.

And Marvin is truly a character near and dear to my heart. It's one thing to find a character that speaks to you; it's another to find a character that IS you. Seeing Marvin's anxiety and adhd and how his brain worked, well, it felt like being in my head. My thought spirals are so similar to his that it made reading a very emotional experience, as I really could feel Marvin's feelings and empathize with him on a personal level.

I just, yeah. Read this book.
