Friday I'm in Love by Camryn Garrett

kayleigh_reads_romance's review against another edition

3.5

This book rated a lot higher for me right up until the sex scene. Sex scenes in YA novels seems wrong to me. Especially as a 30 year old. Reading about minors engaging in this does not sit right with me. An no it has nothing to do with the fact that it is two girls, I love me a sapphic adult romance. I just feel like any sex in YA, if it is needs to happen, which in this case the book would have been fine without it, should at least be fade to black.

This book is so sweet and adorable--the flirting between Siobhan and Mahalia is a high point, as it feels realistic and not saccharine--but there's plenty of real-world problems thrown in. In fact, I was a little disappointed that some of the issues with money, Mahalia's dad, and Mahalia's relationship with Naomi weren't resolved better or explored more, but that might have made the book feel overstuffed and cumbersome. The writing feels a little middle-grade at times, but it's also authentically earnest in a way that made the reading experience quick and enjoyable.

If you're looking for a fun LGBTQ+ romance featuring an authentically flawed young woman, read this!

This was really sweet! I loved the concept here and the discussions regarding money and class in particular. I felt like everything wrapped up a little too quickly at the end for my taste, but overall a solid choice. I would recommend to teen readers looking for romance and family dynamics, who are looking for fast-paced reads, and are interested in audiobooks (made this an even faster read and the Irish accent was very well-done!).
