I loved this book so much. Was very cute. Loved the romance ark of Charlie and Mack. Their character develop throughout the book was amazing and I was here for it! Loved seeing Charlie come into her as a business owner and owning her shit. You go boss girl!!! Mack's growth as an author and learning to develop a healthy relationship with others was great to see too. Also love that she finally talk to her mother about her truma. Loved how well written not only the main characters where but also the other characters within this book. I didn't feel like the other side characters where 1 dimensional. This book had me hooked and may or may not have kept me past my bed time. Also just a side not, really love the consent in the spicy bits. I thought I was so refreshing to see Mack check in with Charlie and ask his she felt comfortable with what was happening

A cute and light sapphic Seattle romance between a cafe owner and a blocked writer with some adorable flirting.
The characters were likable, but I wasn’t all that invested in Charlie and Mack getting together, so I didn’t zip through this as quickly as I usually do with romances. The couple had more of a “you make me feel warm and fuzzy” chemistry than a “you’re my perfect partner and I need and crave you” dynamic, so I feel like they might’ve made better friends than lovers.
It’s a slower burn and there’s only some small dashes of spice, so this is a good fit for readers who’d rather avoid instalust and explicit sex scenes.
I received an advanced copy from the publisher and am voluntarily leaving this review.
