In my defence I didn't realise this was the same author who wrote Hot Dog Girl. Damn she has a knack for writing horrible main characters. Fallon is a shitty person and a shitty friend and so committed to not communicating that she mentions it in her weird asides to the reader. The way she talks about Chloe honestly makes me think she doesn't respect her (and it reads like she didn't even respect her before the fallout that was very clearly not Chloe's fault). I suspect the reason I still like Chloe more is because I didn't get her POV, there's a very real chance it would have been framed in a way to make me hate her too. This book spent a lot of time just stuck in the dynamic of Fallon making it very clear she hated Chloe and not talking and Chloe trying to understand what the hell had happened. And to be clear Chloe is not perfect either, but she falls into more normal romcom levels of miscommunication (hell it might have annoyed me too if not for how dramatically over the top everything Fallon did was). This is a book that falls very clearly into the but if they had just talked there would have been no book category and the asides about how she could talk but doesn't want to are a little on the nose in reminding you of that.

This was a very cute little gay love story. It just wasn't anything extraordinary. The main character could get quite annoying in the way she was talking to the reader and it didn't feel like she had much of any real development. I'm also not a big fan of miscommunication tropes, which was a lot of the conflict. The plot was a bit predictable due to these factors. It felt a lot like a cheesy straight people romcom that is just lighthearted and watching two people flirt, and gay people need those kinds of stories too. It left me smiling, which really was the goal of my reading it.

I liked this story but didn't love it. The premise is fun and it has some really sweet moments but I personally found the MC Fallon to be a bit annoying at times and felt like Chloe wasn't fleshed out enough. It's still a good story but not 100% my vibe.

super cute lil sapphic romance that hit all the right spots and was exactly what i was looking for with an added bit (maybe more than just a bit) of angst and drama if that’s what you’re looking for
*4.5 stars*
