It is one if those books that really stays in your head, along with the main characters and the world itself.
To me that really demonstrates the strength of a book, and the author.

The Need for Dandelions is an MM Fantasy Romance about two men forced to work together despite their differences in the face of a crisis! Here's a little snippet about dandelions! 🌼

Preorder Links! 🌸⚔️
Uni link: books2read.com/u/meYkPE
Itch: bit.ly/3N1RDWk

Cover by: @nooskadraws.bsky.social
“Dandelions,” Galen continued, “never give up. Even when things are hard, or when it seems impossible to keep growing, they do it anyway. We see those bright yellow petals blooming on the streets year after year. They remind me of Candiru, to be honest.” Sasha smiled a bit, turning Galen’s words over and over in his mind like a worry stone. Suddenly, he leaned forward and pushed the vase aside so that he could make eye contact. Galen blinked at him. “There you are,” Sasha said, his voice much softer than he intended. Galen met his eyes, and Sasha took a moment to take him in. His eyes, though determined, were so tired. There were bags under them and exhaustion weighed on his shoulders like a rock. His hair was mussed, a few strands escaping from the knot and hanging in front of his face, but he was still here. Still ready to keep going. Sasha smiled and rested his cheek on his hand. “You’re rather like a dandelion yourself. Very resilient and determined.” To Sasha’s utter surprise, color bloomed in Galen’s cheek. He sat up and looked at Sasha with a furrowed brow, trying to work something out.
