Like Real People Do

This definitely reads like fanfiction. And that is a good thing, because (saving my ass: FOR ME) fanfiction really sets the standard for writing romance.

I found this delightful. The one thing I didn't like was one of the big moments, as it felt like it wasn't really made big by the writing. It just... sorta happened. Even still, this is funny, very warm, very low-angst and somehow very realistic in its portrayal of homophobia and dealing with people who don't initially see eye to eye with a core part of yourself.

I don't know if I'll pick book 2 because that is something I've yet to do, as what I really like is the lead up. I honestly don't know how people read long-spanning series.

Either way: this is great. Check it out.
