Starting the book, I admit I was a bit nervous about its content. I've read through some of the reviews, especially a particularly critical one, and wasn't sure how to go into this book. I've read a lot of GL books before with a modern-day setting, that unfortunately, doesn't turn out that great. But, this book managed to exceed my expectations. The first few chapters, in my opinion, start a bit slow but begin to pick up speed as the storyline progresses. So far, so good! I found myself more invested in the story than I expected and became pretty darn satisfied as Andy and Ericka made strides in their relationship, and frustrated when the pair meet some obstacles along the way. There were a few things that peeve me, such as Ericka's jealousy and Andy ultimately folding into apologizing. (Ericka practically is swimming in vinegar.) The trust dynamic between the two concerned me a bit, but I suppose trust is something that develops with time. I'm not too keen on the lyrical aspect of the novel as they appear a bit sudden for me, but it's not that big of an issue that I would quit reading. After all, romance is something that you give to another, your expression of love.) If Andy and Erica's way of expressing love for each other is to sing, great! They're free to do as they please. (I know for one, I would be flattered if someone started to sing their love for me, lol) In conclusion, this novel is a pretty good GL with a modern setting. It has an exciting story dynamic, and if you're a romantic, this might be the novel for you. All in all, keep up the excellent work! There's already a lot of dropped GL books out there, so please do not become another one. So chin up and carry one. To quote Robert Frost: "Two roads diverged in a wood, and I— I took the one less traveled by, And that has made all the difference."
