Astrid's mom was really hard for me to read, although I knew it would all work out by the end. Lots of tenseness for a romance; glad I made it to the end because some unexpected twists happened along the way!

I think this is a great follow up to Delilah Green. I love Astrid’s development throughout the book and I love the perspective of someone having a queer awakening later in life. I also love the complicated dynamic she has with her mom.

A little slow to capture my full-attention, this book made up for that with a sweet second half. It’s an enemies to lovers with some forced proximity which was an okay plot line but not my favorite. There’s a little spice but not as much as other romance novels. Overall it was cute, fun, and enjoyable.

The people were right: this is even better than Delilah Green doesn't care, which I almost didn't think was possible, but here we are

BUT, where is my hot soft butch carpenter girlfriend???? And where is my cute and fluffy and fucking sexy love story???? I'm jealous, to say the least

(also, I am Astrid Parker, Astrid Parker is me... which was kind of scary, tbh)
