Not to jinx it or anything, but the stars seem to finally be aligning for Will Cowen. After accepting a dream promotion at one of New York City's most renowned publishing houses and moving in with his oldest friend, he's ready to dive headfirst into this new chapter—that is, until he crosses paths with Graham Austin.
No matter how hard he tries, he can't help but put the wrong foot forward in front of the all-business and inconveniently gorgeous heir to the publishing empire.
So, when a heartbreakingly beautiful manuscript lands on his desk, Will seizes the opportunity for a win.
Will's confidence is obliterated when the author ghosts him at an important publishing event. He finds himself in need of comfort, which comes from the least likely person, the normally cold and distant Graham. This small glimpse behind Graham's icy exterior is the spark that sweeps these two up in an epic and unforeseen romance.
As his author's manuscript begins to take shape, the words that initially brought them together become more and more tangled, making it painfully obvious to Will that despite your best efforts, there is truly no hiding from the past.
But can it be rewritten?
Contains mature themes.

I thought I was getting a steamy office romance where one character spends half the book redeeming himself. Totally not that. Solid read and a portrayal of a guy couple readers can relate to.
Good book that is deeper than expected

This was a super sweet and very reflective read. There's a lot of mental health rep going on here. We see a lot of healing and learning from the past, how to live in the present, and how to keep moving forward. Will and Graham are adorable, and I liked that this was a workplace romance without the sneaking around. There is zero angst in their relationship, which I really enjoyed. The vibe I got from this story is that it's very much about Will. The romance feels almost secondary, but definitely not in the background. This story has plenty of heart and a dash of heat. I really enjoyed the characters but struggled at times to connect with the story. I appreciate what was being done here, and I mostly enjoyed my experience. It just didn't vibe well in my brain.
Very heartfelt & a little spicy

I liked the writing style. It’s rich and poetic. The plot seems to thread through many large issues which are not addressed in the book.
The performance was good.
Good prose, loose ends.

A charming queer romcom about the hazards of falling in love, the risks we take when trusting someone with our heart, and the friends who get us through life's darkest days. Will was sweet and unapologetically himself. His loving relationship with his parents (mom and step dad) was so wholesome! The complexity of his relationship with his birth father throughout the book was heart wrenching and incredibly well-written. (as a child of a similar parent whom I have forgiven, this was particularly emotional for me).
Graham is aloof, logical, and incredibly focused on work, until Will stumbles headfirst into his life. As we slowly get to peek behind the curtain of the straight-laced and all business man set to inherit his father's publishing company, his own difficult past comes to light - I related wholeheartedly to his struggles to be the perfect child and not add to his parents burdens.
Watching Will and Graham work through each of their familial wounds and learn to help each other carry those burdens was an honor and a joy.

I thought I knew Kai Rubio's work but turns out this is my first listen. There is a lot to like, clear and crisp diction, he does a fabulous turn at Spanish, and moves between a broad range of characters with ease. I want to hear more from Kai. Where I had some trouble in this book is the how sing-song Will was, when he was not an emotional wreck. The were a few times when he veered toward Joel Leslie, someone who has some pluses, but the vocal histrionics become like nails on a chalkboard. I think Kai offered a sincere interpretation of Will as written, even though for me personally, I would have appreciated a slightly more nuanced approach. Also, if I hadn't read the synopsis a second time, I would have continued thinking Will's surname was Cohen, not Cowen.
I am always eager to hear from a new voice in MM, especially when it's a male writer. Elements of this story are probably very personal to Pons. The romance aspect in some ways is secondary to Will's relationship with his inner monologue. Graham is kind of wheeled in as needed, while Will seemingly pinballs his way from worry to panic to insecurity. When we finally get Will's full story, that thing that is referred to, it isn't what I was expecting. As it unfolds, it initially feels a bit underwhelming for the lifelong impact. Later, we get a glimpse behind Graham's perfectly controlled facade, he revelation to Will shows that we all have experienced feelings of loss or insecurity. What is so crazy, is that later Will tries to say that he didn't have the same kind of support Graham did from his family. This runs counter to everything we learn about Will and his relationship with his parents which is warm and fuzzy, and what Graham explains was his upbringing - a bit distant and focused elsewhere.
Later, as Will's world goes off kilter, we do have some unexpected moments, as well as some very surprising twists. The emotions run very high (some of what I mentioned regarding the narration) and things get the tiniest bit repetitive. Through all this, Graham, and friend Claire remain pillars for Will.
Overall, this is a fine book, I rounded up to four stars for not putting us through unnecessary relationship drama when there is enough emotional drama. If I could have been the editor, the book would have been fifty pages shorter, made sure some key plot elements later in the book didn't feel as if they came out of no where when it became such a focus, and I would have insisted on more Graham in key moments, well, just more of him in general. This is a book you should invest in, it has a flow and distinct point of view that is worthy of your time. Recommended.
A book with lots and lots of feels. Lots.
