*I received a physical arc from the publisher, and the audiobook version on Netgalley* 

I am very late to reviewing this (I received the physical arc months ago) but when I tried reading it back in March, I don’t think my brain wanted me to read a cute fluffy (and slightly spicy) achillean romance, but I’m so glad my brain said yes this time (with the audiobook)!! 

This was such a cute childhood friends to lovers story. Bastien is such a sweet and caring MC who sometimes overthinks, but don’t we all sometimes overthink? I mean, at least I do! And I loved reading about Bastien and Andres. 

Andres, Bastien’s best friend since they were 5, was also such a caring character. I loved him, and when will it be my turn to have someone like Andres?? I’m waiting… (not so) patiently. 

The story itself was super cute. As for the spice, on a scale of 1 (not very spicy) to 5 (really spicy), I’d rate this a 2. The romance is much more focused on Bastien and Andres finally giving a shot at a romantic relationship. And I loved it. I think the spice was perfect for the two of them. 

I highly recommend this if you’re looking for a sweet romance between childhood friends! And the audiobook was absolutely phenomenal!!
