list - cotton candy, This was soooo wholesome!! I loved the progression of their relationship, from becoming friends and learning more about each other, and supporting each other and realizing their feelings. Characters with some depth and backstory added weight to the relationship and their feelings. Both very likeable and so sweet. I really really enjoyed this one, probably one of my favorite jock x nerd, popular x unpopular type stories where there is a realistic connection of two very different types of people. They saw each other for who they were and fell in love, it was beautiful.

list - masterlist, cinnamon, seme pov, This was really sweet! It was interesting if not completely unique, but it was written really well so it felt fresh and made an impact on me. Lots of attention to detail that made the characters feel real and made the writing really stand out to me, for example when Ichigo says all the things in his imaginary world and then the line "a strawberry can't become a peach....i can't become my sister" when their names are Ichigo (strawberry) and Momo (peach). Or when Hirono realizes that Hime is afraid of thunder because of the night when his sister died or afraid of that being ignored hurts him more bc of how his mother treated him. It was really beautiful. The characters were wonderfully mature in their own way, while still being kids and struggling to figure out themselves and their feelings and come to terms with their sexuality. They still tried to own up to their actions and communicated their feelings and apologized in a way that with much more emotional maturity than I see in many stories with adults. The characters were well fleshed out with reasons for their actions and beautiful character development. Even the mom had an understandable reason and had closure in the end. Along with the main story/plot, these are kids figuring themselves out, finding love, and growing up along the way and it was beautiful to read about. I only wish there was more. 10/10 5/5
