This romance was so incredibly cozy and warm, I loved it. Adored the cottage-core vibes, and the flower farm setting was too perfect for this wlw romance

 The cover is gorgeous, the writing is subpar. It's a cutesy enough story to kill time with.

Cozy, sapphic romance set on a flower farm in Asheville, NC! Both MCs are neurodivergent and at turning points in their lives. Quite a few spicy scenes and very Hallmark-y feel.

Buying a flower farm for the vibes is so real. But opal truly was stressing me out a bit. I loved this story tho! It was grumpy x sunshine coded but beautiful & I loved them coming into themselves & growing. I feel like the reason this isn’t five stars for me is because I’m needed a little something extra but it was such a good time & cheesy rom com goodness. The audiobook was also really good. I loved the alternating povs & the narrator was great. I switched between both e-book & audio with ease.

Thank you NetGalley for the free arc!

Never really fell in love with this one, but it was super cute throughout. The characters are a good amount of flawed and the story is fun. Love some queer representation and the exploration of allowing themselves to feel feelings.

This was a little too millennial for me. Also, who writes sex scenes in multiple chapters? You do one sex scene, one chapter. Don't interrupt my flow, dude
