sweet, hot, but also bored me a little with how cliché and predictable a lot of the plot was. however, that's largely down to me not being so much of a romance-novel person, and for romance fans this book seems pretty perfect!

This as an ending to the Bright Fall series felt really nice and satisfying! I loved getting to know Iris better and Stevie is a nice foible for her to play off of. All that to say the writing was a bit clunky at times. I appreciate the author wanting to have a diverse cast of characters but some of the character introductions felt a little forced and we never learned more about a few characters other than their race and gender expression.

“Iris Kelly Doesn’t Date” just warmed me up to romance novels FAST. I’ve never been a huge fan of romance as a genre but man is this book in particular changing my mind! This is well written, the characters believable and genuine, and so gosh darn sweet. I really love this one and found myself relating to the main characters, which I should’ve seen coming as a bisexual writer with a decade of theatre experience myself lol Ugh, what can I say?? Now I’m a Stevie + Iris shipper for life!

this one is hard to rate for me b/c it will have the most beautifully written chapter of stevie trying her absolute fucking best followed by iris bumbling around making all the obviously-this-is-the-dumbest-choice choices … so prepare for whiplash?
