it took me a while to get through the first chapter, but once i was in, i could not put it down.
it was such a sweet book. i loved reading a book about sapphic joy. it was adorable and that’s all i can say because i’m stunned, i loved it in all its cheesiness

Another day, another queer romance novel!
I love reading about queer relationships, but I'm still not a big enough fan of the romance genre in general to rate this very highly. All my complaints about this book are just aspects of the romance genre, which are not bad in and of themselves, just not my own preference. As with most romance that I've read, this is a fun read that looks at some deeper themes while keeping everything neatly packaged and mildly unrealistic.

I am loving that more and more queer romance stories are going mainstream lately. I hope it continues and I hope to see more variety in the future.
This book was a good time. I related in different ways to both Elle and Darcy. From the start, I didn't get the sense that they really disliked each other. Their attraction to each other was there from the get-go, so the obstacles in their love story were all circumstantial or made by themselves.
Overall, I enjoyed this book. A part of me wishes that the angst was a bit more pointed or drawn out, but that is entirely my own preference. I am a sucker for messy emotions and the ones in this book were clean cut.
Would recommend this book to others.

The main thing I liked about this book was, thankfully, Darcy and Elle’s relationship. They were just so soft for each other, and you could tell they were genuinely connected. It gave me butterflies, and I particularly liked Darcy’s POV in the beginning. However, apart from this I just felt like I was missing something. The story needed more atmosphere and generally more scene description, as I definitely felt that it suffered from white-room. Like, it was set in the holiday season, yet it didn’t feel Christmassy or wintery at all. I also think the story was a little boring at times and could have used more plot or involvement of side characters. All in all, I really wanted to love this but it fell a little flat for me.
