Did what it was supposed to: be a romance book! Loved the experience it talked abt for Asian queer women (specifically lesbians) and LOVED the interview with the elderly POC lesbians!

Fourth forehead kisses out of 5

Could tell the author put a lot of herself into this novel which made it all that much stronger.

I really enjoyed this book!! It was full of funny moments and so much love. I loved the Love in Focus spotlight as their feature and how they worked together. I also really enjoyed how Gemma and Celeste challenge each other in a good way. They were the perfect balance for each other and when they wanted different things, not trying to force it was the perfect resolution. I’m especially glad that therapy was discussed and that both of them did it because they felt they needed it and not as if it was to fix themselves for the other person. The side characters are great and I really enjoyed all the banter and quips! 

It was odd that with the POV changes, there was also a change in how the POV was done. To flip from first to third person was odd to me but not unbearable. 

Overall I really enjoyed this book and will definitely pick up another from this author in the future!
