Did not expect this to make me feel so much. Close to tears for most of the last part but it was so good.

This book was not really what I expected but I loved it! It was very emotional and deeply about mother-daughter relationships as much as it was about romance. It was a really interesting story of womanhood and woman relationships (in truly all aspects). My biggest note is that the ending felt a bit unfinished, mostly between the friends! I want to know what happened with them in the end and a little more of a wrap up for Anna would've been nice too. But overall I was very pleasantly surprised by this book and it tugged on my heartstrings a LOT. Also there should def be trigger warnings at the beginning of this book so I will add them to this review

Maybe I listened to this audiobook on too fast of a speed (I only had a day left on my library loan when I started lol), but I found it hard to distinguish between the characters in dialogue, especially during the texting scenes. This probably wouldn't have been an issue if I'd read the physical book, but yeah I kept having to rewind because I couldn't tell who was saying what. Aside from that, the book was fine. Sharpe has a literary diction that adds a bit of flavor to a very conventional genre.

 Cute at times, but absolutely heart-wrenching as well. What a good book to kick off pride month.
