I thoroughly enjoyed this (audio) book! First of all I was really lured in by the cover art, because the characters both look absolutely gorgeous, and Delilah was very quickly growing on me. Partially because she's a photographer and I can relate to that quite a bit. 

The story itself had me hooked almost instantly and it stayed that way. I really enjoyed the alternating POVs, which really made sense in this case and added a lot. All the characters have a distinct personality, no mary sues here!

There's some smut scenes that were incredibly good and I thoroughly enjoyed those too. The emotions came across so vividly, it was lovely <3 The narrator did a phenomenal job too!

Very very cute! Loved hearing a LGBT+ romance that didn’t ignore the B&T. Also I LOVED the friendship development. I so wish I had had friends like this before I got married.

This was cute but read younger than it was, which was annoying at times. It had very nice moments that I enjoyed greatly.

OK. So I liked this one more than I thought I would for about the first 40% of the book. At one point I almost DNF'd it, but kept going because it was so well written. For most of the book Astrid comes off as this mean girl, and her friends her little clique. Which makes sense, but it just made me want to pull my hair out because I can't stand books where it is a bully-romance. But eventually it gets better, fleshes out the characters more and actually makes it feel like it works. Next one is a sort of Taming of the Shrew sort of thing, so hopefully it can redeem Astrid for me!

This is the first book in ages that I completely flew through! It was funny, lighthearted and relatable.

I highly recommend to anyone in the mood for a easy fun read or a romcom experience filled with drama and revelations!
