(listened to audio book from library)
a surprisingly fun read! i found this book on a top ten list for slow-burn lesbian romances and BOY was it slow-burn.
it was (mostly) worth it in the end, though i wish there had been more than one ~spicy~ scene. after all the pining and sexual tension, it was hardly the intense payoff i’d expected but still satisfying and very in-character.
Lee Winter is a great writer. she doesn’t dawdle on unnecessary detail and seems genuinely in tune with current trends and queer media. the references to The 100 (bury your gays, ClexaCon) threw me WAY back to my younger fandom days but it was a welcome levity to the intense emotional plot.
overall a fun and complex story that i really enjoyed for more than just the spice… and the audiobook narrator was STELLAR.
