I loved Delilah and Claire and now I love Jordan and Astrid. I’m very invested in all of these characters and their love stories. The chemistry is great and the support they have for each other to work through what they’re going through is fantastic. I love this lighthearted easy little romance. It’s nice to read about romance working out.

4.0

Cute and emotional. I would have liked more spice! But it was still a great book. It was interesting to see Astrid realize she wasn't straight! But I can see how she wouldn't know because she was raised to only think of being with a man. I also liked Jordan's storyline, with the abandonment and default romance in her own way. Overall a great book.
