I'm always thrilled when Harper Bliss publishes a new book and this one did not disappoint!
Ida and Faye were both Oscar-winning actresses approaching 50. They were cast to play opposite of one another in a groundbreaking rom-com (co-written by a character from another book) where the two female leads fall in love. The chemistry between Faye and Ida was undeniable from the moment they did their first table read. Through several rehearsals and dinners, these two ladies became friends. Ida closeted her whole life, wavered between coming out and staying locked up tight. Faye, straight as an arrow, or so she thought, was drawn to Ida the more she got to know her. I really loved both our leading ladies and I was rooting for them.
The dialogue and character development were on point in this one. And while it's not a super heavy read, the struggle with coming out was handled with a lot of care. There is (fortunately) not a lot of unnecessary drama and angst but plenty of steaminess! It's another winner in my book for Harper Bliss!

I received an ARC copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.

I think I might have to actually read this instead of listening to the audiobook to get the full picture cos it was cute, I just couldn’t understand most of it and need the words to fully compute what’s going on. Definitely appreciate the older lesbian representation tho cos we definitely need more of those (books and film/tv)
