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.

A solid read, which, I flew through. I loved Nora and Sophia… their love is cute and the love story is well written and the right spice level. 4*
