this isn't my type of book, but it was recommended to me for the "weird plot." i was expecting something more surreal or even sinister, but it turned out to be a story about a middle-aged divorced woman sleeping with her college-aged daughter's best friend. while that's a slightly complex premise, the story itself is not at all complex or gripping. this book clearly isn't for me, but i know someone out there would love it, so i gave it 2 stars

This was a steamy, silly, heartfelt Sapphic romance that had a really great audiobook and some solid characters across the board. I didn't always like every character but they were never boring and there was never a dull moment plot-wise. It was dramatic and funny with a lot of heart at the center of it.

I read this book as an arc in exchange for an honest review and I’m sitting here speechless. I literally don’t know what to say because I enjoyed this so much. It was so cute and it was so… just… normal but I don’t know how to say normal without making it sound boring! But it wasn’t boring! It felt like a true romance, I felt sucked in I enjoyed the story so much and it was so sexy and so spectacular and I really liked the connection between the characters and I really liked their personalities and I really liked how Real world it felt. And despite mommy issues it wasn’t triggering for me and I just am really impressed with this I really enjoyed it. I know I’m blabbering on but yeah what a sweet, sexy, loving, romance.
