    Both books are very realistic. The first one has a very delicate romance; the protagonist is a spoiled rich kid with a sharp tongue but good manners, and a short attention span, paired with an independent, strong yet awkward, devoted but pitiful uke who is actually gay. The protagonist has feelings for the uke from the moment he lets him move in. The second one is a short, sweet story that feels really real. Both characters are cheeky and hilarious; the whole thing feels like a real-life experience for the author.
