This one’s for the tarot gays.

Jordan and Astrid were cute. I liked the slow-burn enemies to friends to lovers. My biggest struggle is that what I 
most liked about Delilah’s story was the unpacking of her past and family. This one is more romance focused (which is fair; it is a romance), and the ‘baggage’ Astrid and Jordan each have to work through was leas interesting to me. I was also disappointed that Astrid was the only one that had to take accountability.

4.5 rounded up

Liked the sequel more than Delilah's story, which slightly shocked me. The enimes to lovers and deep dive into each main characters life were two big selling points.

I just didn’t care about anything that was going on! I thought the premise was really interesting and unique but the author failed to make me care whatsoever about any of the characters. A lot of the drama seemed forced and self invented.

Cute and fluffy. The banter when the two get together is very adorable and honestly, I would read a whole cozy story about their life together; just being cheesy and succeeding in life. [As a side note, did not know there was smut in the book. That was a surprise. I don't like sex scenes, but I didn't feel like I had missed anything by skipping them.]

What I did not like was Jordan convincing Astrid to take credit and then Astrid convincing herself it was her fault for taking the credit??? Like what?
