Astrid Parker Doesn't Fail is truly a loveletter to those who have sacrificed so much of themselves to become who their parents wanted them to be and finally have to figure out who they are. I sincerely couldn't put the book down, and had to force myself to slow down so that the book would last just little bit longer.

I JUST LOVED THIS BOOK SO MUCH.
Not only is it my first 5 ⭐ rom-com but it is also my first 5 ⭐ adult queer romance.
I laughed, I giggled and I cried numerous times.
I would do anything for Astrid and Jordan, as individuals or a couple 🥺
Astrid healed my mommy issued ass so much.
I didn't think Jordan was my type by the cover but I have seen fan casts and now I'm obsessed with soft butches 😍😍
Also the spice was 🤌🏻🔥🔥

I love Herring-Blake’s writing style! Her characters feel so real and alive and I’m obsessed with every page. I just want more and more.
