A good read with amazing age, sexual orientation and diverse racial representation. It was refreshing to read a romance between two women NOT in their 20s - as is the norm for most stories I’ve come across thus far. All that said, the connection the characters share left more to be desired for me. The attraction is undeniable, but the emotional connection was rushed and not very developed on-page. Overall a fun romance read but not the best I’ve come across sadly.

This was such a fun read! I wish I would have read it during summer, it would be a perfect beach read! It's funny, has a nice dash of spice, it's short and sweet. It also has tropes I really enjoy, such as fake dating and one-bed trope. I love books with dual POV, so that was a plus for me. I also really liked our characters, some of our side characters kind of stole the show for me! I'm excited for a sequel, hopefully, we get to see the little hedgehog again!

A super cute sapphic fake dating romance with some spice. Basil and Caroline had great chemistry and I enjoyed watching them fall for each other on their "honeymoon." The Sapphic Olympics were pure gold. There's also an excellent scene involving a photo booth. But I think the couple who ran resort, Lynn and Mae, truly stole the show. It looks like this is book one in a possible series, so I'm keeping my fingers crossed that one of the books centers around Lynn and Mae's love story. At the very least, I suspect they'll at least continue to make regular appearances in all the books, along with their adorable hedgehog.
