Idk man I wasn't feeling it. The carpenter specifically said "im not going to be your first queer experience" and then proceeded to be her first queer experience. Also, way too many characters. Do love the narrator, though. She sounds like Cameron Esposito.

Just as addicting as Delilah doesn’t care but not as feel good at points. Still a lot of growth and development especially from such a dark spot of losing a partner, a career, and having your life wrecked so it was more inspiring in that way

When work is stressful, sometimes you just need a queer romance novel to get you through.

Really hurts to rate this so low but I truly couldn’t get into it! I absolutely loved the first book but this one felt like a drag to finish. I considered quitting multiple times.
The reason for it I think is that it felt too slow for my taste. I know Astrid was discovering her sexuality but at the same time I wanted to see a bit of a spark between them earlier. Also, I just didn’t really care all that much about the house renovation plotline, because it truly took up a lot of the story.
I wanted more Astrid and Jordan moments than we got, and maybe more of them falling for each other.
The character growth I think was also lacking, as I feel we were being told more than we were actually seeing.
It’s a shame I didnt enjoy this one, but I will eventually read the other one, and whatever else Ashley Herring Blake writes.
