5 stars
This book is a really sweet and addictive slow-burn romance. It follows Theodore, a shy and introverted game design student, and Marissa, his confident and outgoing roommate. What makes the story stand out is how different they are. Theodore is quiet and unsure of himself, while Marissa is full of energy and warmth. Their relationship grows naturally through small moments, especially through gaming and spending time together.
The story feels very real, with themes like self-doubt, personal growth and complicated relationships. Theodore's character development is one of the best parts, as you see him slowly become more confident. The romance builds slowly, which makes every moment feel more special. Overall, it is an emotional and comforting story about growing asa person and finding love when you least expect it.

GoodReads Review by Yazmin Areepattamannil:
Sparks to Flames was literally everything. I was so obsessed the whole time because it had so much tension, emotion, and chemistry, and I could not stop reading. The characters had me fully attached, and every moment between them made me scream a little inside. It was the kind of book that completely pulls you in and like practically makes you never want it to end.
