This is a cute mostly light rather short romance set in a bookstore, between a bookshop owner and an author. It does have an incident of queer hating vandalism which is wrapped up very neatly in a way that stretched credulity. The author is grumpy, and has anxiety. Like the characterization in general, the anxiety rep is not very in depth, which is partly due to length. This is one of those romances that doesn't have a central romantic conflict, instead the conflict is centered around a bookstore that is struggling to remain open. I liked the feel of a friendly gayborhood in the story, but didn't really connect with the MCs. 
 Trigger Warnings: (view spoiler)[ Queer hating vandalism, including the use of a slur. Use of a queer hating slur earlier in the story as well. (hide spoiler)]
