I received a free eARC of this book for an honest review.
I was really looking forward to reading this book and it did not disappoint. I really enjoyed how it portrayed the complex feelings Sophie had as coming out as bisexual later in life and how understanding Amy was about it. There were more than a few times that she was Sophie's fiercest champion in not letting anyone question her queerness. Alternatively, there were a few times Sophie helped Amy too with her own baggage and demons. That balance of being the strong one for the other is not something we always see in romance novels, so when we do, it's a breath of fresh air.
There were a few snags for me such as the constant self-sabotaging from Amy mainly in terms of having a happily ever after. While I got the reason why after a bit it did get tedious but it all came together in the end. Highly recommend this and here's to the finished coffee will have some recipes included since the meal Sophie made at the end sounded delightful.

This was nice. It isn't just about the romance, but also about figuring out your queer identity and the joy that comes with that acceptance. I liked both main characters.
The save-the-restaurant subplot took so much screen time, was for the most part good but the ending felt a little anticlimactic. It's just mentioned at the epilogue that the restaurant was okay, not much more.

4.5 Stars! This was a fantastic story, I just need about 50 more pages of character development and backstory! I absolutely relate to and love Sophie and her coming out experience
