At times the book was a little cringey or cliche and sometimes the characters were a bit immature but I think it’s because they had a lot of unresolved trauma. I really liked Iris and Delilah’s back and forth banter. It was nice to see how these ladies’ relationships developed. The sex scenes were very beautiful and well-written. I did feel like sometimes the author over emphasized their queerness and feminism to the point where the sentence was a little awkward or cringey.
All in all a very cute read. I enjoyed it.

This book is so good! The queer joy, the family dynamics, the cute relationship vibes, the TRUST! Delilah Green absolutely cares about so many things and so many people, and seeing her flourish was so lovely and heartwarming.
Read this book if you love
💜 Sapphic romance
💜 found family
💜 only one bed
💜 grumpy/sunshine
💜 single parent
💜 strong female friendship
This was my first time reading a single parent romance and I was surprised by how much I enjoyed it! It’s definitely made me more open to other single parent books in the future.
I will definitely be reading the rest of the Bright Falls books. 4.5 stars

- everyone is bi
- sapphic
- childhood hometown, small town romance
- group of girl friends
I expected more connection to the characters, but kinda couldn't keep some of the friends straight. The whole plotline of breaking up their friend's wedding was like... "yall really let her get all the way this far before stepping in? are y'all actually friends?" The relationship between Delilah and Claire didn't really hit either, it felt very like insta-lovey. I think there was actually just not enough focus on their relationship to make it seem more believable.
3.5/5🌶️
