This is such a cute, well written little love story. I didn't read book one or book two because I really just cared about this cute fxf love story but everything still made complete sense so I definitely think this can be read as a stand-alone. I loved the characters so much, both Frankie and Sam are such likable characters and their love story is so sweet and beautiful.
As always with books this length my only complaint is that I wish it was longer, though it definitely feels complete the way it is I just loved the characters and think the story totally had the potential to be longer!
I really liked the way queerness was depicted in this book, it's clear the author took great care to do a good job making sure even the minor queer characters were depicted in a respectful and natural way.
Fantastic little fluffy story with a cute happy ending!

my first f/f NA book was a SUCCESS
this was a lot of fun. i'm reading and reviewing 8 f/f romances for my youtube channel and this was the perfect way to start! the f/f romance genre as a whole is criminally under marketed and under hyped and i was determined to give some attention to it and find some gems. this one definitely is a ruby.
it follows our lovely pansexual main character frankie who is promiscuous (in the best way) falling for sweet closeted southern lesbian samara. i'm gonna try and keep it short.
what i liked
- frankie's unabashed pride and pleasure in sleeping around and yet not falling into the whole "bad bisexual/pansexual" stereotype
- the diversity among the side characters
- the sex. dude it was GOOD. really moistening, if you will.
- the simplicity of the storyline. not a whole lot of needless drama.
what i didn't like
this is totally a personal preference thing when it comes to romance but i really like there to be something more than just romance, especially if "side" things are mentioned. for instance, we learn that sam's parents will prolly disown her if she comes out. and that frankie's parents are kind of absentee. but beyond a brief mention of these things they didn't affect the story like... at all. i'm not saying that all books have to include families as a plot line but it felt weird to have them mentioned and nothing happen. and in general not much happened in the plot beyond the two characters getting together. and usually life isn't that simple. things happen while you fall in love. family shit, school shit, etc. and it felt like most of that felt to the wayside here.
additionally, i really felt the sexual tension between the two main characters but i wanted more slice-of-life moments. if someone is going to go from sleeping around to just sleeping with one person there's got to be a compelling reason like oh idk they're cool and have a personality you like. but there was only really one time in the book that we get mention of the two MCs really KNOWING each other. and it's because frankie mentions that she knows sam's middle name and favorite foods and shit. we don't actually SEE the relationship building.
overall
i think this is a really fun, sweet, quick f/f read. i would highly recommend it to anyone who likes a collegiate setting in a romance. and the complaints i had are not reasons you should stay away but rather are things i wish i had known before reading. def pick this one up :)

Okay so, this is NA and it does have some of the typical NA cliches except the scared to commit person isn't a guy because this is a love story between two girls. BUT! there's no romanticized abusive relationship! and the MC is PANSEXUAL!!! and i actually ended up really liking the relationship in this. and i LOVE that this story exists. and it's very diverse and full of queer characters and well, it's my new favorite NA. i'm really happy that i read this, and will definitely be picking up more from the author in the near future.

3.75 stars. A little too “the right person will make me want to Settle Down and not want casual sex or anything else” for me as an ENM person, but good overall!

Definitely liked this one more than the second book but not as much as the first. Felt like the relationship could’ve been expanded a bit more and the characters further developed.

Hmmm.. so I didn't know the book was a third in a series, when I picked it up. So, the random writing about the other couples was just not it for me. I felt it drag a bit for me.
