Reading sm childhood friend to lovers stories, it gets repetitive (but I don’t mind obviously), however this story kinda took a different approach than what I usually see. And the coming out scenes weren’t harsh, which is refreshing. I know we get used to the reality of being gay is a harsh journey, but we sometimes forget the opposite side where people have progressive friends and family that genuinely just love them and want them to be happy, so it’s not as bad a journey. I like to see that hopeful aspect in these stories of the “doomed gay” narrative.
