ugh I LOVED THIS! The fat masc NB rep was absolutely incredible and the hot blonde femme that completely worshipped them?? Mutual sapphic pining to the max?? it was everything. I NEED more books like this to be published. Meryl Wilsner is always pushing the envelope and giving us what we need out of sapphic and queer romance. There was the perfect amount of angst that made me cry and scream a little, but overall, this book was a amazing representation of queer love and it will also remind (and inform!) readers that fat people are hot and deserve someone that will let them sit on their face!

This would have been better as fan fiction smut because the IP would allow the characters to have personalities.

This book was just alright in the end, decent enough to keep my attention while listening to it at work, but not interesting enough to want to rate it anything over average. 
I wasn't the biggest fan of the relationship in this book - didn't feel we got to see enough of the main characters together besides the passionate sex they were having for a few days. And even though they were best friend since childhood, I didn't see any chemistry (outside the sex) for them to have a love filled relationship in the time frame this book takes place. 
Plus, this book relies too heavily on the miscommunication trope, which is personally, one of my least favorite romance troupes out there.

I was disappointed by this book. The idea of this book was good, but the execution was not. What do you mean that our main character confesses their feelings to their best friend, gets turned down, and then later in the future, that same best friend is engaged to be married for a year and a half, doesn't want to get married, breaks the engagement, then we find out she has feelings for her best friend that she had turned down before. The miscommunication trope was SO overdone and the rest of the book was not enough to make up for how poorly it was written.

Thank you to St. Martin's Press, Meryl Wilsner, and NetGalley for the eARC of this book. This is my honest review.
