i avoided reading this book last year because i didn't really liked the title and the cover lol i know it's a shallow reason but i finally read it now! 

i found the story cliche and predictable most of the time. i found myself rolling my eyes at some lines or whatever, but i also smiled and laughed at some scenes. it's also longer than it needs to be, but then again it's the first book in the series so i kinda understand. i didn't expect to like iris because she was mean at first, but then she became the funniest character. i'm actually excited for her book. i hope she never loses her charm. 

i also loved the ending and how they all became friends, i think it was excecuted well. even better than delilah and claire's instant love story lol

i just think all of the characters would benefit in seeing a therapist. like that's all that i can think of while i was reading some parts. like babes im begging u pls see a therapist and get help with your issues!

i will read astrid's book and let's see what will happen next!

I devoured this adorable novel in less than two days and I’m genuinely not that fast of a reader, I was just obsessed. And honestly I usually don’t enjoy romance novels but this one was just so stinking cute. Absolutely recommend to anyone in need of some good sapphic smut. Only two things I was disappointed with really. First, the book talks quite a bit about inclusivity and yet as far as I could understand, every single one of the main characters in this book were white. Literally the only people of color were either side characters or the subjects of Delilah’s art, and I feel like I could take an entire essay to unpack that…Anyways the second thing is gonna seem very silly compared to that, but I was a tiny bit disappointed that this was sold to me as a “bookstore romance” but there are only two whole scenes inside the bookstore. That’s all to say I truly enjoyed this book and would recommend it, but was confused by the lack of POC.

Who can resist a lesbian love story? Certainly not me! This story was so sweet and funny and filled with love. A bit of a slow burn but otherwise perfect. 😍 Great characters, believable plot, delightful ending. I can’t wait to read more by this author.
