The cuteness of the book nearly killed me. It's not at the cuteness level of Take My Picture, but it's not far. It goes straight to feel-good fav re-reads. 
 The characterisation is great and the relationship development is very well done, especially since when the story begins, one MC is 17 years old and the other is 27. This reminds me Diane Adams' series "The making of a man", where the two MC meet when one is a minor and the other is an adult and they develop a friendship that the older man keeps platonic while the younger man can't help pushing for more. 
 This books goes with He Completes Me in my fav books by Cardeno C. 
 The book could have gotten half a star more if it had stopped before the sex fest near the end. I found it didn't add anything to the plot. It felt like sex for sex because the UST had been going on for so long and it was the reward for the wait. I don't like that anymore. Maybe if something had needed to be resolved by sex, something had needed to be proved, or a barrier to be broken, maybe then I would have enjoyed the sex part. But it was just the sex-fest after the sex-fast (haha). 
 In spite of that, though, I absolutely loved this romance. Yep, re-read shelf.
