Setting: Vancouver, Canada
Rep: lesbian protagonist; sapphic love interest; POC best friend

This was a quick and cute read with some of my favourite elements - fame trope; age gap; sapphic romance - and I really liked Cate, and Abby was a great side character. I do think Rachel probably needs to work some more on her self esteem and insecurity in order to be in a relationship with Cate but they make a good couple and I enjoyed this story!

4.5 stars...This would have been a full 5 stars for me if the events near the end dealing with trust issues had not happened.

I lost respect for Cate when she immediately pushed Rachel away when the news report came out revealing her secret when she was growing up. There was no discussion, just an automatic blaming of Rachel. This took a lot of enjoyment out of the story for me. I know angst is something that is prevalent in romance novels and in some cases it is ok. I just did not like it in this book. The main characters were building a good relationship and in 1 moment, everything fell apart. Cate's ex was a piece of trash, yet she immediately took what he was saying as truth and threw away the relationship she was building. Later on, Cate was supposedly so heartbroken over what had happened. If she had taken a few minutes to talk to Rachel instead of putting up her protective wall, she would have realized what was happening. Instead, she chose to throw it away. If this section had not been in the book, it would have been a 5 star favorite of mine.

Looooooved it. It was so much fun and sweet and crazy at times, the whole zip line bit(did I remember the name right?), LOL hilarious! But for the first few chapters I wasn't completely buying the coupling, I think because Rachel's POV is a bit insecure at times, so I wasn't able to see how Cate could be attracted to her. But it was gone rather quickly.

OMG how did Cate would date that person, let alone marry? YIKES!!!! I loved how there wasn't a whole lot of fuss about her being with a woman and how she dealt with it, naturaly.

Also, I loved Abby, she was just what Rachel needed in her life. I mean, that first dare... I really would like to meet them again in the future.
