3.5

A perfectly fine queer woman romance. I really enjoyed that these characters has some depth to them and family relationships and friendships were explored as much as the central romance. I particularly appreciated the single mom representation and how Delilah handles Claire’s daughter. This was extremely sweet and single moms (especially bisexual ones) tend to be quite underrepresented in romance so yay to this author for including one here. 

What prevented me from rating this higher is that I did not love the way Claire treated Delilah through most of the book (she’s constantly lying to everyone and trying to hide their relationship) or how the third act breakup was handled. If those aspects had been handled differently I would have enjoyed this far more than I did.

Astrid's fiance is a misogynist, emotionally manipulative douche canoe. Her mom, Delilah's stepmom, is icy and controlling. Astrid defies her mom and breaks her engagement by the end of the book.
