[Re-Read] Of course it would be a five stars again. This book was so goddamn beautiful and emotional.
I loved the found family trope so bad and i actually liked the miscommunication trope with Delilah and Astrid (they’re sisters). It got me all emotional

I’m not much of a contemporary romance fan, when I pick one up I tend to get a little bored… but not with this book! It read like a early 2000s rom com… but sapphic. I’m so excited for the next installments!
P.S.- This book is 100% about queer joy. If you’re looking for a book that doesn’t have homophobia a central theme in the story and just want happiness, this is for you.

This book honestly surprised me with how much I enjoyed it. I was expecting to pick up a cute and fun Queer summer read, and ended up blowing through this book while wiping away a few tears at the end. The heart of this story is so beautiful. Beyond the whimsical descriptions and taste of a small, pretty but complicated town, the characters are intricately crafted. The chemistry between Delilah and Claire is electric and full body blush-worthy. The space they create in their evolving romance is a study in trust and supportive love. Delilah’s fraught childhood and the misunderstandings with Astrid were built out so well, creating an amazing frame for understanding her reservations and reactions. Claire’s insecurities paired with her unending ability to trust in the good of others [sometimes to a fault] was so sweet and beautifully paired with the sideplots of her friendships and coparenting struggles. There was such a beautiful balance to the love story and the world of Bright falls, the friendships created and the absolute bullets dodged in some unfortunately very accurately depicted men. I can’t wait to dive into the rest of the series and see what love story comes next.
I highly suggest this book to any person who grew up with Gilmore Girls wishing for a queer love story to walk into Stars Hollow.
