I know the author, so I'll preface this by saying: JP if you're reading this, don't read your reviews! Even this one! I promise I have only nice things to say, and don't read reviews!
Ahem.
Things I liked about this story:
+ Cute premise with loveable characters. I fell in love with and relates to Kel the moment she stepped on the page
+ Despite the presence of A Plot, everything was fairly low-stakes and light-hearted. The focus was on our two main heroines and their attraction to each other, and navigating that attraction while also handling The Plot
+ Alba is not a small person. Though none of her descriptions said "fat" directly, the other words to describe her made her curves and presence something to be desired. As a big girl myself, I love and appreciate this
+ This book is about angels and demons but it also lacks any philosophical exploration on the nature of good/evil and what happens in the afterlife. The Christian God is referred to exactly once (by my recollection) and with They/Them pronouns
+ Good natured and feel good. Kinda feels like cuddling .I am sticking this on my list of Comfort Reads for a rainy day
Recommended to people who enjoy/are looking for: queer romance, books featuring angels and/or demons, something light and fun

My friend! Wrote this! And graciously gave me an ARC.
So, on one corner we have Kel, ND AF messenger angel, has one (1) friend, likes books SO much.
On the other corner, Alba, not actually a Spanish demon, who is a scientist and an absolutely paranoid overthinker with superb home decor style. Has one (1) arch-nemesis.
In between them, an accidental debt, a Very Messy Giant Library, and the very sexy question of explicit, and specific, consent. Also, the aforementioned arch-nemesis.
At the core, this is a book about bookworms and finding your worth, and specifically, one bookworm finding her worth.
Contains sex scenes with surprisingly minimal genital description, which is quite an achievement actually.
My only problem with it was that it's a short book and, selfishly, I wanted more.
Improbable Heaven will be out next Monday the 26th.
