Read this back in July & absolutely loved it!
It's a story about two opposites who must work together in a small town PA restaurant. Greg is an extroverted bartender who left his extravagant NYC life behind after getting into too much debt. Julian is an introverted sommelier whose OCD makes it hard for him to accept change & let anyone close. Once they get over their initial skepticism of each other, they strike up a friends w benefits situation⬇️

peanutnine Their relationship was so sweet (and sexy). Greg has erectile dysfunction due to mental health meds and Julian struggles with cleanliness bc of his OCD. They both meet each other with openness & compassion, growing and working through trauma. It's very much a character driven story (they're trying to save the family restaurant, did I mention that?) and they each have to decide what it means to find a home #14books14weeks #LGBTQIA2025 @Kenyazero 3w

July #ReadingBracket2025 romance update
This was a tough month to choose, as I read a few books by favorite authors that were all wonderful. I decided to go with You Had Me at Happy Hour because I loved the romance but also appreciated the way the two MCs disabilities were handled with compassion and care
