This book was difficult to get through because I didn't love Delilah's character. She was similar to Josh and I didn't appreciate the comparison of those two characters. The ending was predictable and didn't have a grand resolution. I also didn't connect well with Claire, but I desperately wanted too I just wish she was the main focus in the book and not Delilah because she had more conflicts in her life to deal with.

This is the first book of 2024 and my book club’s January book. 

I did not like it. I disliked both of the main characters and the only one I like was Josh and Iris. But still they had problems. 

I though I would like it but nah. 

THEY DRINK ALL THE TIME! I get that people drink wine but they drink literally everyday. Society is glamorizing alcohol and potential alcoholism!

Also realized that I don’t really like sex scenes in books anymore. So that also put it down for me :/

Romance isn't usually my genre of choice but I particularly enjoyed the easy read of LGBTQ+ relationships. I liked the writing style and pacing. Although it isn't my favourite book I've ever read it was fully enjoyable even for a non-romance book lover .

toxic relationship is not between the two main characters, nor the sexism or misogyny

it’s a sweet and pretty fluffy sapphic romance! i’m not a fan of the miscommunication trope though and this had it in spades with multiple relationships.

i wish we got to explore delilah and astrid’s relationship more and how that grows, but that’s probably what the other books in the series are for. i do really like the banter from the characters though and the chemistry was good! the first half was addicting and the second half dragged a bit.
