I LOVE THIS SERIES and couldn’t recommend it more. Chloe Liese always knows how to handle difficult topics with such grace and in a way that really makes your understand and connect, and I give her praise for writing fabulous inclusive and diverse stories. If Only You is book 6 and Ziggy’s story. It had a lot of parallels to my favorite of the bunch, Always Only You, as both FMCs are on the Autism spectrum while the MMCs are professional hockey players/ teammates.

While Ziggy and Sebastian’s relationship starts off as a fake friendship, I loved watching them slowly become real friends and ultimately recognize they want more. There were so many swoony, tender and honest moments that made me fall for these characters.

The Bergmans are by far my favorite book family, and as always, I loved how we got to see so much of all of them in this story and hear all the life updates! Now I’m sad there’s only one more brother left.

What to expect:
-Professional athletes
-Brother’s teammate
-Opposites attract
-Neurodiverse + Celiac rep
-Slow burn romance

Pun date: 4/11

I've said it once, but I'll say it again: if the Bergmans were a real family, I would do everything in my power to become a part of it! LOL. In If Only You, we finally get Ziggy's story. Ziggy is the youngest of the Bergman siblings, and she is also autistic. She has had to learn to navigate a scary and loud world, and struggled to overcome her anxiety and social anxiety. More than anything, she is tired of being the "baby" of the family, and she wants her family to see her for who she really is: a mature, independent woman who can handle things on her own. Enter Sebastian Gauthier. Seb is Ren's best friend and fellow hockey teammate, and also has a bit of a reputation for being a notorious bad boy and play boy. Frankie is responsible for fixing the damage done by his latest shenanigans, and her instructions to him are very clear, stay inside and lay low. Seb needs help making his image more wholesome, and Ziggy wants to roughen hers up a bit. Ziggy gets Seb to agree to being fake friends, which will include being seen out and about together. Seb is definitely a broody, grouchy, alpha male, but a lot of his outward persona is a facade due to issues from his childhood. Give me an emotionally scarred male lead, and I am sold. Ziggy chooses to see the best in people, and Seb is no different. Time and time again, he doesn't think he is worthy of even being her friend, but she keeps proving to him that he is. This book was an emotional rollercoaster from start to finish in the best possible way. There were plenty of times when I laughed (angry yoga, anyone?") and times when I got teary-eyed. Hearing Seb talk about his childhood and finally start opening up made me emotional. There is plenty of angst between Ziggy and Seb as they try to keep their arrangement platonic. It doesn't exactly work, and let's just say there is plenty of steam to go around in the book. This book is emotional, tender, funny, passionate, romantic, steamy, and so much more...everything I wanted it to be and more. Thank you to the author and publisher for giving me the chance to read a copy of this book. I will forever be a Bergman Family fan!

I feel like every time I pick up one of Chloe's books, I find this piece of myself that I thought no one else understood perfectly described on page. Insanely blessed to get an arc for one of my absolute favorite series and authors.

I love that we got to meet Ziggy years ago after she was first diagnosed with autism. We got to see her meet Frankie and knowing that even though she was struggling, there was hope, she just had to hold onto it. Years later, she's a professional soccer player living her dream. Yet so many people in her life keep her in this 'little' box, where she needs to be coddled or protected. Her inner monologues absolutely killed me and getting to see Seb push her to stand up for herself more vocally made me feel so proud of her for using her voice.

I got to meet Chloe for a signing of Two Wrongs and when she said "brothers teammate" I was convinced it was going to be someone from Ren's team. Sebastian is a little dark, a lot broody, and just trying to keep his head above water. He spends so long trying to be someone Ren can be proud of because the Bergman kind of love is something foreign to him and the idea of disappointing Ren and losing that friendship was crippling.

As always, I adore Chloe's writing. The world she's built, the characters we've all come to love, and now fake friendship to real friends to lovers. The slow burn is everything you could hope for.
All the cameos of our favorite couples & Viggo made my heart burst (Søren "I've got google alerts set for my family" Bergman, I'm looking at you). I'm not ready for this series to end, but I can't wait for everyone to love on Ziggy and Seb!

- brother's best friend
- queer MC's
- mutual pining
- fake friends to real friends to lovers
- celiac rep

Proper reviews don't generally start with, OMG! IT'S SO GOOD. But, y'all, it's. so. good. Admittedly, I'm a huge Bergman Brothers/Chloe Liese fan and I've been looking forward to the release of "If Only You" since I finished Oliver's book. I'm also picky and opinionated and have no reason to fake my enthusiasm.

Ziggy and Sebastian's story is a slooooowww burn that's absolutely worth the wait. Their relationship evolves into something truly beautiful and genuine.

And that bookstore scene? Damn. :::fans self:::

Read it. If you're into HEAs and romance, read the rest of the Bergman Brothers series. You're welcome.

Advance copy courtesy of NetGalley, review and opinion 100% mine.

Thank you so much to Chloe Liese for the copy of this ARC.

I am deceased. This entire series is just so good, but OH MY GOSH Ziggy and Sebastian are everything. You know I love to see a redhead MC, and pair that with a tattooed bad boy hockey player? Yes ma’am.

The first few chapters of this book are hysterical - where Ziggy and Sebastian find themselves in a bit of a predicament - which leads to fake friendship and lots of not-fake feelings. Chloe does a great job with representation in this book (autism, Celiac disease, bisexuality and pansexuality), but the part that squeezed my heart to bits was the hope that Ziggy and Sebastian had in each other to do the hard things and grow. It was so stinkin beautiful. Seeing the best in others and wanting to be the best version of yourself for someone else gets me every time and makes for the best of the best romances. And so does a guy who will dress up as a romantasy hero - wings and all.

Don’t worry - there’s also great friendship, sibling relationships, and of course, the A-frame to round out the romance and create Bergman perfection.

If Only You is pure Bergman perfection.
All the family appears and is accounted for. Lots of Sunday dinners and family game time. Ziggy’s finding her voice. Secret Shakespeare Club and baked goods. Learning a little more about the other man cub, Viggo.

Ziggy is wanting to reinvent herself of sorts, or at least have everyone see her as the adult she is now, rather than the struggling teen she used to be. Sebastian has a reputation he needs to improve, and a past he needs to stop running from. Together, from the outside, they seem like an unlikely friendship, but together they also work. They push, and challenge each other to be what they see in each other.

This was a slow slow burn. Fake friends to real friends to the potential of something more. I was here for alllll of it.

I reread book two, Always Only You (Frankie and Ren) before starting this new release by Chloe Liese. I wanted to remember when we first got to know Ziggy and it was such a great decision because we are back in the hockey world and Ren and Frankie show up quite a book in this book.

I could stay wrapped up in the Bergman world and the A-frame forever. I am sad to think that Viggo’s book will be the end (I hope it isn’t), I could read about them forever. My only hope is future book check ins, maybe a holiday book … something.

If there is one thing you do for yourself, it should be adding a Chloe Liese book to your TBR. I have not ONE TIME been disappointed by her work. Not one time in all of my books I've read of hers. I love this entire series so much and have been waiting patiently for Ziggy's time and this was well worth its wait.

Ziggy's got a plan. She's tired of the coddling that comes with being the baby of the family and wants everyone to treat her like the adult woman that she is. When she runs into her brother's best friend, Sebastian, her plan starts to formulate. While she needs to roughen up her image, Seb needs to clean his up a bit. The two being in each other's company for publicity is mutually beneficial so Sebastian agrees but he couldn't have predicted how quickly their friendship would actually start to positively impact him. Ziggy is so aware of her wellbeing and the wellbeing of others that she is the first to show him the value of his own person and these discoveries just continue on.

Having such a personal relationship come from something orchestrated was not in the plan but neither complain as they find their footing. The two have a lot of personal growth to get through together but it's possible something more is to come.

Like I said, the Bergman family has been a joy from book one. I have had so much love for each part of their family story and I can't wait for Viggo to join the mix with one of his own.

If Only You by Chloe Liese
Bergman Brothers #6

Last year, Everything For You was in my top 3 romance books - and her Berkley debut, Two Wrongs Make a Right, was also in my year end favorites. If Only You is yet another heartfelt, emotional, super swoony, steamy, slow burn romance and I loved it SO MUCH!

Ziggy, the youngest of the tight-knit Bergmans, is a bit coddled by her well meaning siblings. She proposes that her brother's "bad boy" best friend, Seb, pretends to be friends with her to clean up his image. She thinks having a friend like Seb will make her family take her more seriously. And she will help him appear to be a bit more tame.

The lines get blurry right away as Ziggy and Seb feel protective of one another, curious about the other, and fake friends turns into real friends! Their friendship is so beautiful and I love how important it was for them to be friends first in this story.

Seb starts off as a bad boy who doesn't seem to care who he hurts with his destructive coping/numbing behaviors. His enormous, beautiful heart has been hiding under a wounded, hardened exterior (and Ziggy sees it effortlessly!) Chloe writes his growth arc in such a tender way!

What else:
• Seb may have baggage and mommy/daddy issues, but he'll sweep you off your feet at Shakespeare club!
• We get a lot of Ren, Frankie, and Viggo in this one!
• Their hugs?! Just you wait and see.
Chloe Liese knows we are all dyyyying for Viggo's story. I feel like she's just teasing us (obviously we like it) everytime he's on page. It's going to be so fun to see what happens to our romance reader Viggo in his book!
• And if nothing else, read this for date night inspiration: a bookstore visit to end all bookstore visits! IYKYK!
• As always, fantastic and important rep: autistic heroine, celiac disease, bi and pan MCs.

Thank you so much for the e-ARC. All opinions are my own!

I hereby declare to eternally bow down before Chloe Liese and jump in front of a train for her wonderful character!!!

This book ripped open my chest, put it back together, caressed my cheek, sang me to sleep and I am a mushy pile on the floor. Somehow her autistic women do it for me EVERY SINGLE TIME and I'm not ashamed to admit that.

Ugh, I just had a feeling I would adore this one and adore it I did. I would truly give my life for Sigrid Bergman and Sebastian Gauthier aka the new loves of my life!!!! Too precious *cries into oblivion*

I've said this again but I'll say it again: Ms Liese is a writing whizz and I'm forever in awe. This book was no exception. Oh so beautifully written, the characters were tender, their emotions raw and so vulnerable. I fell for both of them hard and ah I loved it. Just always warms my heart and I need you all to read these books so we can gush about her amazing writing together.

I seriously adore Ms Liese bringing back her sports romances and it was so great to get not only one but two in this book: soccer and hockey all in one. I am sporty through romance books only and this is where I get my small dose of sports education. Honestly, Ziggy and Sebastian made me think I could join them in their games even though I would absolutely get knocked out. They give me strength lol. Anyways, enough nonsense, but I loved the sport in this book and their love of the game was such a wonderful addition to their character development

As always, the diversity in Chloe Liese's books always gets me and this was CHEFS KISS. Not only is their autism rep (which I love), own-voices celiac disease rep (my heart) but also queer bi and pan rep and I could cry forever. SO much love is always poured into these characters and it's too much for my pathetic hopeless romantic heart to handle.

Okay okay. I get it. You want to know about the romance. I'm truly saving the best till last folks because these two BROKE ME INTO PIECES. I was smiling so hard my jaw ached and that is the best kind of pain. Maybe one of the slowest of her slow burns ever? I'm pretty sure I can say that. But she was so slow and it was worth every minute. The angst in this freaking book!!!! Watching these two idiots literally fall head over heels and pretend to be friends for like 70% of this book I was almost screeching. It was a lot to emotionally process but ugh I loved it so much,,,,

I absolutely adore Ziggy to pieces, she is maybe my favourite Bergman? Except Ren. Sidenote: loved seeing him and Frankie in this one too, my children. I have a thing for these redheads man. Anyways, I adore her. And Sebastian was something else. This man!!! OMG. They all need hugs but also slaps across their heads I LOVE THEM. The pining was CHEFS KISS. Spoiler but not really: you are not ready for the bookstore scene. Or the other shortly after. IT'S TOO GOOD I WANT TO CRY!!!!!

Sigrid and Sebastian are my everything, I'm so excited for you all to read this book and weep with me!!!!!

If you're looking for a wonderful slow-burn adult romance filled with wonderful representation, tender characters and the sweetest of love stories with a side of hockey and soccer, you've come to the right place. Chloe Liese is here to steal your heart once more <3<3<3

I never check NetGalley more obsessively than when I'm waiting for a Chloe Liese approval to come through. The Bergmans are my favorite fictional family to spend time with, and I've been so excited for Ziggy's story.

If Only You had the sexiest meet cute of all the books. The way I bit my knuckles and squealed as I imagined Ziggy's thong hanging from Sebastian's fingers was completely unhinged. This was the best friend's little sister, friends to lovers, slow burn, sports romance of my dreams. NO. THIRD. ACT. BREAKUP. Queer MCs, neurodivergent rep, and mutual healing from past traumas that the characters helped each other to work through and overcome.

The bookstore. The wedding. The games. The jeans. Ziggy telling off Seb's parents. Franking giving Seb the dressing down of a lifetime. The costume party. Every scene with the Bergmans. I just loved this book. I laughed out loud so many times. The banter was top notch.

I adored Ziggy and Seb's relationship evolution from fake friends to real friends to lovers. They each fulfilled a role the other was desperately lacking. For Ziggy, she needed someone to take her seriously, to acknowledge her independence and accomplishments, and all the ways she'd grown. Being with Seb made her bolder, braver, more outspoken. Seb needed someone to see who he really was. To look past his exterior, to stop taking his behavior at face value, to be his friend. Being with Ziggy made Seb try harder than ever to be a person they could both be proud of. The intimacy that developed between these two was breathtaking.

My only complaint is that we didn't get more time at everyone's favorite A Frame. This was a very slow burn and when they do finally get together, it felt completely inevitable but also a bit rushed. I wanted to get to relish with them in their love and I'm hoping we see more of them in the next book.

Chloe's books feel like a warm hug. They offer chances for all kinds of readers to see themselves in her work. They are wonderfully inclusive and thoughtful and funny. I cannot recommend her books enough.

This is my first Bergman book and my second by Chloe Liese and I can say with confidence that I'll be reading the rest of her series--and backlist. Ziggy is a wildly charming character, and I love how Liese populates her novels with queer characters. All adults here--these characters communicate with one another. There were a few moments where I felt a tiny bit lost--Liese privileges the small moments, which I mostly like, but it did leave me slightly confused in a few places, and there's a pretty wild mid-chapter time jump, but overall I was really engaged with this novel. (Also, casual mention of men using sex toys!! We love to see it)

Chloe Liese could write an instruction manuel and I would read it! If Only Youis the 6th book in the Bergman Brother series and it’s Ziggy's chance at love. Ziggy and Seb have a perfect friends to lovers story. We have seen Ziggy grow up in this series and grown to love her character so much. She is the typical youngest child whose family can’t see her as a grown women but Seb does! Chloe Liese does such a wonderful job of building love out of friendship, which I think is what we all hope for in the end. Ziggy and Seb are both openly bisexual/pansexual, and not once is it explained or defined. It’s just who they are and it’s there in the open, which is absolute perfection. The beautiful representation of these characters sexuality, autism, and celiac disease are so important to their growth as adults together, and in a partnership. PS, so happy to see angry yoga back in my world. Now the countdown is on for Viggo‘s final book in the series! Thank you for the so much Chloe!

Thank you #NetGalley for the ARC in exchange for an honest review.

"If Only You" is an absolutely stunning romance that will leave you breathless. From the moment I picked up this book, I was completely engrossed in the story of Seb and Ziggy. Chloe Liese's writing is so beautiful and descriptive that I felt like I was right there with the characters, experiencing everything they were going through.

This is an extremely slow burn romance with mutual pining that is *chef’s kiss* especially from the perspective of previous bad boy Sebastian Gauthier. He falls hard and becomes so soft for Ziggy, it’s a beautiful thing.
Ziggy is sick of being treated like less than the adult she has become by both her family and her employer. Seb’s reputation could use a lot of work. Ziggy proposes that they start a mutually beneficial fake friendship. Add in to the mix, Seb is Ziggy’s older brother’s best friend.

Seb and Ziggy are two incredibly complex and fascinating characters, and I loved watching their relationship develop throughout the book. The chemistry between them is off the charts, and I found myself rooting for them from the very beginning. But what really sets this book apart is the way Liese tackles important issues like autism and Celiac Disease. She handles these topics with sensitivity and compassion, and I was blown away by the depth and complexity of her characters.

Overall, "If Only You" is a beautifully written and emotionally powerful romance that I would highly recommend to anyone looking for a book that will sweep them off their feet. Chloe Liese is a truly talented author, and I can't wait to see what she writes next. Five stars all the way!

“​If Only You is a brother’s best friend, (fake) friends with benefits to friends to lovers romance about a bighearted, quietly fierce soccer star on the autism spectrum, and a thoroughly unprincipled, almost irredeemable hockey player who has celiac disease. Complete with an absurd level of mutual pining, meddling family and friends, and a spicy slow burn, this standalone is the sixth in a series of novels about a Swedish-American family of five brothers, two sisters, and their wild adventures as they each find happily ever after.”

This book will forever have a place in my heart. I have never felt as seen as when I was reading this book as I have never found a romance novel that talks about celiac disease. And wow, Chloe Liese did the most amazing job representing everything good and bad that comes from this disease, which is not just not being able to eat certain foods (they have really good alternatives out there!), but the social anxiety and limitations that it brings to everyday life. The way the stabbing pain in the stomach was described reminded me of the times I ate food with gluten without knowing what was wrong with me and thinking it was normal to feel pain everyday. Other things she represented in this book that really mirrored my Celiac journey was the brain fog and the headaches that come with having gluten when your body is not ready to handle it. Being able to read about this just made me so happy and this book will forever have a place in my heart for it…

Apart from the amazing representation in this book (not just celiac rep but also autism and bisexuality rep), the romance between Sebastian and Ziggy was incredible. I really enjoyed this friends to lovers romance; I loved the pinning they had for one another and I also loved how it had a brothers best friend trope, and I thought it was done super well.

I loved both of the personal journeys that both Seb and Ziggy went through together. Both of their journeys were so admirable, and I loved how they supported each other and helped one another become a better version of themselves. I loved how opposite they were as well, but how they helped each other be better.

It was also so nice to see all the Bergman’s and their significant others again, and I have bittersweet feelings about Biggos sorry coming up… I can’t wait to read his story as I’m so intrigued by him, but I’m also so sad as that means it’ll be the end of the series and I’m not mentally ready for that!😭

Also, can I just say how much I loved the meet-cute in this book 🤭 I thought it was so unique and fun. I loved the tropes and the representation in this book, and I thought all the themes and subjects were approached with such kindness and grace. I loved this book so much and it will forever have a place in my heart.

5⭐

Ziggy Bergman is through with being overlooked. As the youngest player on the National Soccer team and the baby of her family, she's gotten used to being underestimated, but Ziggy has finally decided to take the matter into her own hands. She wants to be recognized for her talents and strengths, so she decides to reinvent herself, and she has the perfect person in mind to help her. Sebastian Gauthier has a reputation for being the bad boy of hockey, and his career is suffering for it. When Ziggy approaches him with the wild idea of rehabbing both their personas by pretending to be friends, he reluctantly agrees. But the more time Sebastian spends around Ziggy, the more he can't help feeling like he does want to change so he can be worthy of her for real.

I adore this series, and I've always had a soft spot for Ziggy, so I've been eagerly awaiting her book. I love a friends-to-lovers trope, and who doesn't love a bad-boy-falls-for-the-good-girl trope? I was sold from the get-go. Ziggy and Sebastian's relationship was adorable. I loved watching them bicker. They brought out the best in one another, which was so sweet. I loved seeing Ziggy become more confident and sure of herself, and Sebastian learns to be tender and vulnerable. As always, I love how much representation there was. Both our main characters are queer, one has autism, and the other has celiac disease. No matter who or what you are, you can always feel seen in Liese's books. If you enjoy more of a slow-burn romance, I'd recommend picking this one up.

For some reason I've had a hard time coming up with a coherent review for If Only You, but I loved it so much.
I've decided to just write down a list with things I adored:

- Ziggy. While reading the previous books in the Bergman Brothers (*cough* siblings *cough*) series, I was so curious about Ziggy's story. I liked her character a lot back then already, and now I love her whole personality. And there's finally an answer about her actual name.
- Sebastian. To be honest, his character could've been terrible. He did so much shit in the past, and usually I don't love characters like that. BUT he is willing to change and to actively work on himself. And he apologised to the people he wronged. I just had to root for him.
- The fake friendship trope. It was nice to not have a fake relationship for once (I like the trope, but damn, it's overused) and to instead have Ziggy and Sebastian "pretend" to be friends without noticing that there's no pretending going on.
- Queer rep. Both mcs are queer, and while it does come up within the story, it's just a fact and not something that has to be talked about forever. I like that it's not a big deal.
- Ziggy and Sebastian bonding over angry yoga.
- The whole (extended) Bergman family, especally Frankie. Even though she is only a side character in this book, Frankie is a queen. Oh, and Viggo in all his scheming glory.
- Freya nursing her baby during family dinner and no one making a big deal out of it because people nursing their babies wherever they want to should be normalised.
- The use of they / them pronouns for people who's gender identity is unknown to the characters within the story.

So, yeah, I will stop fangirling now and just tell everyone to read this book. Just read it.

*I received a free ARC of this book from NetGalley in exchange for an hornets review*

The Bergmans series keeps getting better with every book. Chloe Liese has one again delivered a masterful romance, with torturous tension and the perfect slow-burn build. At this point, with her books, I expect a certain amount of crying and not only did “If Only You” deliver it OVER delivered. The feral sobbing from the living room did briefly freak out my husband (until he realized I was reading a Chloe a Liese book. He knows.)

The emotional range of this book cannot be understated, it was a master class in writing that tugs at your heart strings. These two beautiful dummies deserve the world, and Ziggy and Seb found it in each other in the most beautiful way (with the classic Bergman meddling of course!)

As we can all expect from Chloe Liese, the representation was fantastic. I really liked that their life experiences shaped who they were as characters without becoming the conflict. Seb was chronically I’ll, Ziggy was autistic, both of them were bi, but at not point did who they are become a plot device for conflict. Even better, there was no third act breakup! Liese made perfect tension without ever resorting to a breakup or the miscommunication trope.

I feel like this series keeps getting better with every book, and I can honestly say I’m not emotionally prepared for the last book to come out and bring it all to an end. Yet another Bergman has stolen my heart, and I can’t wait for Viggo’s book!

If Only You by @chloe_liese

Thanks to @netgalley for the eARC

Chloe did it again!!!

I absolutely adored Ziggy and Sebastian’s story and the vulnerability they had with each other. I got so giddy during this book.

I really appreciated the theme of letting the ones you love grow out of the boxes we love to put them in (even ourselves).

“How and when can anyone decide they have a fundamental read on a person’s character, let alone know that character is immutable.”

Liese’s writing skills continue to blow me away and this book was no different. With the Shakespeare Club and Ziggy’s love of romance books in this book, Liese completely exemplifies the power of fiction:

“That’s why I love Shakespeare Club, why I read books, because those made-up worlds contain some of the most tender, scary, beautiful human truths, navigated in the safety of imagination, whose wisdom and hopes I take with me bravely into my own life.”

Uhhhhh I just love Chloe so gd much and the Bergman siblings and please say there isn’t only one more left after this!!!!!!

A MUST READ.

⚠️CW: alcoholism, child verbal abuse, abandonment, emotional abuse

This series has my heart! 🧡
Chloe Liese has done it again! The 6th installment of the “Bergman Brothers” series was absolutely phenomenal. Beautifully written, tender and vulnerable “If Only You” is an amazing addition to a powerhouse series!

Ziggy has always been the baby of the family. As the youngest Bergman she is often handled with kid gloves, even though she is a professional soccer player and grown woman. Tired of being seen as an immature wallflower she enlists her brothers teammate, best friend and all around bad boy, Seb in a plan to rehab both of their reputations. Ziggy wants to be seen as a grownup and be taken more seriously while Seb needs to polish up his image after a string of bad press threatens his career. Together they embark on a friendship to prove to their friends, family, fans and social media that they have changed & grown as individuals. Full of romance, all the baked goods, music playlists, rage yoga, character growth, friendship and family - “If Only Us” is a must read!

*Chloe Liese is a insta-read author for me! Writing neurodivergence and disability in such an honest and raw way, creating lovable and real characters and bringing life to her stories - 10/10 recommend every single one of her books!

Thank you to NetGalley and Chloe Liese for the ARC in exchange for my honest review.

This is the sixth book in the Bergman series featuring Ziggy, a professional soccer player and Sebastian, a professional hockey player. The story centers around the ideas of perception and identity, with both Ziggy and Seb wanting to change the ways the world sees them- Ziggy for the worse or more mature, and Seb for the better. The two decide to form a fake friendship for the press that turns into a real friendship that is complicated by their attraction to one another. I enjoyed this slow burn story, and I thought the celiac disease representation was good. I did feel like the two characters spent a lot of time psychoanalyzing each other and basically talked like they were in therapy sessions. There wasn’t really a conflict to the story, which was fine, but sometimes it just felt like the author’s message was getting in the way of the story, if that makes sense. The Bergman reunion was my favorite part of the story. Looking forward to Viggo’s book!
