I read Astrid Parker Doesn't Fall first and I believe the two FLs had cuter banter and chemistry. This book is still great quality writing, but often relies on tropes... So many tropes. (Enemies to lovers. Only one bed. The bet. Constant misunderstandings. The classic Hallmark big city girl meets old childhood crush/hot single parent in the small hometown. I'm probably missing some.)

I did enjoy this book, but I like the sequel better. I do like how all the characters are interconnected in this series. I love expanded universes.

I adored this book and devoured it in 24 hours! The two leads had fantastic chemistry and individual personalities. I liked all the secondary characters and am excited to read about some of them getting their own stories. A lovely little F/F rom-com.

toxic relationship is not between the two main characters, nor the sexism or misogyny

This was a great little fluffy read. It was so nice to see two women fall in love. 

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.
