Sapphic romance is always good, but I quickly got tired of how much smut there was (specifically all the scenes that didn’t fuel or drive the plot forward in any way). Good rep, just expected more meaning or more plot. Decent read - 3.5⭐️

This is such a solidly three-star book - some stuff I loved, some I rolled my eyes at, but overall engaging. Elsie (indecisive) and her ex (zero emotional IQ) embody a lot of the worst traits of my ex and I had to push past that giant red flag at the beginning. I like the writing overall, and the sex scenes are out of this world, but the Third Act Breakup hinges on miscommunication and assumptions and not talking about feelings, which are all things that I'm totally over. I respect the choice to have our main characters actually spend serious time apart, I did appreciate that their issues weren't solved in like two pages. But man, I just am so over miscommunication. I did have to keep reminding myself that Elsie and Ginny are basically just a few years past college aged, which helped explain a lot of their most annoying actions.

I loved the detailed descriptions in this book, especially the ones describing the resort! Overall this was a pretty good book that held my interest.

The premise was interesting but the sheer amount of sex scenes with zero connection in addition to the miscommunication trope was a deal breaker for me.
