This was one of those books that found me when I needed it most. It was heartwarming, hilarious, and so so queer. I loved every minute of it. I’ll definitely be reading more of Anita’s books in the future! And will re-read this whenever I need a comfort book.

*4.5* this was wonderful!! i don’t think i’ve enjoyed a romance this much since one last stop. i loved the concept so much i went in with high expectations and i feel they were met!

the amount of queer romance books ive read where theres foot stuff is insane
also a small thing, but how are you going to write a trans character buying and driving a tesla, owned by one of the most transphobic people... elon nazi musk (granted, this book was written before all that) literally disowns its children for being trans lol 
the weird thing where london is rich as fuck and dahlia is not was strange. its hard to root for london to win 100k when they literally dont need it at all, i thought maybe their parents disowned them and they needed it, but they are only estranged from their father, would their mother not give them money to start the non profit? i just cant root for rich motherfuckers joining contests like this just to win more money, when its people who are one emergency away from living on the streets competing in it too that need the money more
the romance is of course lacking... the only way they like each other is through sex, every single time they see each other they just want to fuck, and at the end of the book its trying to convince me they actually love each other.
medium-paced
