Glad I did the audiobook of this story. Where some reviews of the written text have mentioned issues with chemistry of the main characters, the audiobook felt like the chemistry was ON POINT. 

A fun story that I only wish delved but more into some of the character issues a bit more, but hey maybe that will come with the rest of the series

This was a fun and quick read. Great steam and I enjoyed the plot and all the photography references. This book had a lot about Astrid for her not being an MC but I suppose that’s setting her up as one of the MCs in the next one. There were a couple of times in the book where the author described a character as white, and when this first happened I thought there would be an introduction of character(s) of other races… but then all the characters were white. That was a little odd. I’m not sure what’s better when an author makes all their characters white - letting the reader assume race or describing everyone’s race, but what would be best is including racial diversity. I did appreciate the bi and lesbian representation.

I loved this book! I fell in love with Delilah only 60 pages in and couldn’t get enough of her. I highly recommend this to anyone looking for a cute sapphic romance.

The emotional abuse occurred in the past for the most part, but it is present in the book through a step-parent and can be seen in some scenes in the current-day setting. The sexual content is very consensual.
