I loved this book! I’m a big fan of the best friends trying to break up their other friend and their terrible boyfriend trope and also the estranged sister coming home trope!!!! AND A ONE BED TROPE!!!!! Queer representation everywhere 🫶🫶 read this. Seriously. Right now.

this was such a cute queer romance. i read the second book in this universe a few months ago and really loved it so i wanted to read the first one and it didn’t disappoint.
delilah and claire were very cute together and i liked that this was just an enjoyable romance that didn't necessarily have to do with coming out or the two main characters struggling with being accepted. i liked that this was just about the two of them falling in love and the story ending happily ever after. 
i also really enjoyed the dynamic between delilah and astrid, and how they grew up with such different view points of their childhood. and this author also does such a good job of fleshing out her side characters, it makes me really excited for the rest of this series.

This was the sweet little slice of romance I needed after reading so many horror books back to back. It was a classic trope of a character moving away from their hometown only to be brought back by some event and falling in love with someone from their childhood. In this case Delilah, returns for her estranged stepsister’s wedding and falls in love with her stepsister’s childhood best friend, Claire.

I’m a little bit of a sucker for a miscommunication trope, but executed well. & I was a little frustrated by it in this one just because I felt if Claire just talked to Delilah instead of assuming shit things might have gotten resolved quicker-ish. But it wasn’t the worst.
