This book has almost every trope I dislike in romance. I was pleasantly surprised to see the age gap in this done as great as it was. While I don’t think this story was realistic at times or perfect by any means I don’t care all that much. The chemistry between the main characters was undeniable, as well as the strong friendships in this story. Both Cassie and Erin have clear intentions and well-thought-out personalities. And while yes, their relationship is taboo, it’s easy to feel for them and root for their happiness together as a couple. It’s rare for me to find an age-gap romance that truly feels about nothing but the connection between the characters but this one does. There’s nothing slimy or creepy going on here at all.

A few conflicts felt thrown in just to have conflict, I couldn’t follow why a character was mad or why they were suddenly arguing but it made for some okay drama and I can say these confrontations made more sense once I finished reading the book.

Overall, I think this story knows exactly what it is, a fun lighthearted, and sexy romance that doesn’t take itself too seriously. I thoroughly enjoyed it!

Thank you to St. Martin’s Press and Netgalley for this ARC in exchange for an honest review.

there were times during this i had to scream and do something else because could you imagine your mom fucking your best friend ?? but it was cute, it was fun, i had a good time reading it! even tho i was the only person who enjoyed this authors debut book, i could really see the improvement from that one to this one. also, sometimes it's nice to read romance books about queer women bc i can only read about some guys "seed" for so long.
