Thanks to NetGalley for providing a copy to review.
Representation: Queer MC, multiple queer supporting cast
Rating: 4/5 One thing that endlessly frustrates me in romance generally is the amount of chaos or negative things happening because of a lack of communication. I will still read it, and enjoy it in the end, but it is SO frustrating. Sammy takes this to a whole other level, hiding the fact that she's on the verge of losing her job if she doesn't get this one thing done, hiding a whole ton of things from the people that love her and care about her. I really liked the chemistry between Sammy and Max, their banter was great. I wasn't expecting the family side plot, where she reconnects with her grandmother and learns more about her heritage. I really enjoyed that, and just wish we had some more of that.
