This was a cute book! And the spicy scenes were *spicy* indeed, which was great. 

The plot just kind of bored me, I had to take breaks and read something else in the middle. 

It was not bad, and the writing was good, just maybe not so much for me…

4.5

 sweet sapphic romance with an a-hole verbally abusive father, I did really enjoy this, the dad was a lot like my own, a bully, but overall it was a funny, sweet book that I thoroughly enjoyed. I wish they'd gotten into the mom more though. I'm glad they didn't really try to redeem the dad and give him so excuse. The narrators were great but I wish they'd had more distinctive voices, it was a bit confusing at parts who's POV you were in.
