This was a sweet LGBT cute meet! A fun story of love, loss, and self discovery. Very sweet book indeed. ☺️
I really enjoyed this read. I loved both of the FMC's. I'm loving Lyla Lee and her K-drama reads. I love that neither of these girls are perfect, but then who is. I love that this book was a sapphic second change romance from college exes who end up working together 8 years later. This book has got some great bisexual representation, and these Korean characters brought up a decent number of conversations about the lack of queer Asian elders, because its often kept quiet. I really enjoy that Lyla Lee brings up cultural things like this as well as tattoos in the Asian culture showing the difference in culture. I know I've read books from her before that were YA, this one is defiantly an adult romance as it's got some good spicy scenes in it. I really enjoyed this book and will be reading more from this author.
My favorite quote was definitely: "The beauty of being bi, I learned, is that you can get rejected by both women and men."
Both narrators Natalie Naudus and Catherine Ho did a good job. Even though I felt that there was a noticeable difference in less chapters from Celeste's POV, I feel that both of the narrators did such a good job.
Thank you NetGalley for this ALC in exchange for my honest review.

Je suis un peu déçue de pas avoir plus aimé. Je suis pas fan du second chance, certains idées et scènes étaient répétitives, la romance allait trop vite... Bref, je suis trop bummed🥺

Very cute, easy, fast paced read.
This was a cute Asian sapphic story with a second chance trope (or 3rd chance?)
I really enjoyed the story and seeing the Korean representation. It allowed me to look up things about the culture that I did not know and learn about them. I love that I can expand my knowledge of other cultures by reading books like this. I think the story was cute and I enjoyed that the characters eventually recognized their flaws and worked on them.
This book is most single POV in first person but every once in a while we got a second POV but it was written in 3rd person. That did throw me off a bit and get a second go deal with. I’m not sure if this was to try and separate the voices a bit but I think they were unique enough that it wasn’t needed. Our main characters are in their late 20’s and to me come across a little immature but not in an overtly annoying way, they just acted a little young.
When I am reading a current day romance, I enjoy present day pop culture references but I know some people don’t. So if you do not like that type of stuff, then I would suggest to avoid this as it does have a lot of pop culture references in it. (Is this the first romance to mention Chappell Roan?)
Overall, I thought it was a cute book and enjoyed it.
