I'm surprised that a traditionally published, sapphic romance could feel so much like a (okayish) cishet Wattpad story.

The characters are all rather clichee. The bad girl only looking for sex because

she was cheated on

, the good girl being dutiful, the kind of stuck-up step-sister, the loud, sassy friend, the sexist douchebag, the vain step-mother. 

Delilah, the main character, felt like a 15-years-old (boy) with her behaviour at times (come on woman, you're 29, it's time to self-reflect). The way the pairing thought about each other (but especially Delilah) felt quite objectifying at times and reminded me of the way men are usually written. I couldn't really connect to their romantic chemistry.

Overall this wasn't a bad read per se, though 2.25 stars may beg to differ. The topic is served right, but there were too many aspects that already bothered me while reading. I guess I read to many (better) Wattpad stories like that in my teenage years, so that a romance like that doesn't impress me much anymore.

I really enjoyed this book! I found all the characters really lovable & loved Delilah's bad ass vibe mixed with Claire's sweet mom vibe. I love how complete Ashley Herring-Blake makes her characters & was happy to find all the characters that were in Astrid Parker Doesn't Fail (I listened to these books out of order). Cant wait to read Iris's book!
