I loved the concept behind this book and thought it was so original. The whole storyline of the food and wine tour was fab and made me want to do their exact holiday so badly.

I struggled a little with Theo as a narrator and found them quite frustrating and self-sabotaging. I’m sure it was an intentional choice but I didn’t love the way they assessed and handled situations often, especially in contrast to Kit. 

I also found that the story started to drag an awful lot towards the end and unfortunately became quite repetitive, just feeling to me like it was time to wrap things up instead of visiting another 4 cities. I did however enjoy the way each character on the tour with them developed so much as we progressed, and as we learned more about their intricacies and relationships. 

Despite my issues with the book, it was majorly sexy - there’s no other way of putting it really lol. And sexy in a really unique and interesting way due to the rules put in place by our main characters. Maybe I’ve just not yet read enough queer romance but I haven’t come across this previously, exploring the cavern of different ways to experience sex as a queer couple, even one who are “straight presenting”.

It had a lot of good and unique elements which I appreciated, but also some frustrations on my part, which may just be personal preference. However, I’ll definitely continue exploring the world of McQuiston and am already excited for my next read of theirs!
