This isn’t my favorite queer romance, but it feels very realistic. The constraints of living in a small conservative town and not being able to realize your identity until later in life is a very real thing for a lot of LGBTQIA+ folks, and at the same time, sometimes you just want them to be happy without having to deal with oppression and societal expectations.

this book is better written than 90% of f/f romance novels (not a high bar) but the plot is completely unbearable. just want to mention the extremely funny fact that the book constantly alludes to the ex-military protagonist’s career in a Shadowy American Intelligence Agency without revealing what she actually does for work. folks, the deep state is infiltrating our lesbian fiction. 

(also there are no sex scenes in this. booooo hissss)

it was decent, dragged on for a while very dramatic/cheesy at times, the characters were fine, i felt for them but it didn’t really pull me in. The conflict becomes repetitive after a while and the resolution isn’t super satisfying and also very cheesy. But i knew what i signed up for, i don’t mind the cheesiness, for me the issue was the plot/conflict moving way too slow.

I wanted the main characters to have a happy ending, but I felt that the writing could've been better. It all felt a little corny and neat at the end, and some aspects felt unfinished. I appreciate that the author donated a percentage of the book's royalties to the It Gets Better Project, though.
