summary: “why the fuck would it be easy? you’re disgustingly in love with your best friend. of course it’s complicated.” he pauses to roll his eyes, as if he hasn’t just laid out the most secret parts of you here in the middle of the campus dining hall.
alternatively, it’s an old cliche, falling in love with your best friend. it’s a shame none of the stories ever told you it would feel like this.

AHHHHH MY HEART IS BURSTING! not only is this one of my favorite concepts (just an old cliche? please, more like an absolute CLASSIC) but this warmed every bit of me from my head to my toes. i love the slow burn, but this was also different. i felt like i just seriously went on like a fifteen year journey with this couple, and i became immersed so quickly and so deeply. this author’s writing is so seamless and effortlessly flowed that it almost felt like i was watching a movie instead, that’s how smooth the transitions were. my standards have forever been ruined and now im literally omw to find some impossibly miraculous way to build a time machine so i can go back and try to find something like this 😂😭
