My rating: 4 of 5 stars
Finn is quiet and shy and has very few friends outside of his family but his best friend Gem is a game designer who is funny, self-depreciating and a nerd just like Finn. Finn fell for Gem years ago and is resigned to not being with him. Finn also has a spicy side project that no one knows about. When Gem asks for Finn's help opening a new board game store he steps up and it brings them both closer together. Soon things become complicated as lines of friendship blur between them, and Finn begins to worry Gem will find out his secret. But maybe that wouldn’t be as bad as it seems. Maybe Gem already knows the secret Finn's keeping. All he has to do is convince Finn to share…
I enjoyed this story with the two friends becoming closer over the shared goal of Gem's game store and how their shared loneliness became a friends-with-benefits arrangement before feelings on both sides became apparent. I thought the side gig was funny given that Gem was already a subscriber. The emotional parts of this story were well told and easy to feel as you read it. Easy to read, feel and understand. This was an MM story with mature content.
