It's really hard, in my experience, to find good sapphic books! I feel like they tend to get repetitive in the storyline and/or and unrepresentatives and paint such a stereotype for queer women. HOWEVER, this book was so easy to enjoy!!! It's definitely one of my top sapphic books and it has a cute happy ending which makes it an overall feel-good book! I love the fact that one of the main characters is an older women, almost 40 at the beginning of the book. Many authors shy away from talking about the sexuality and sexual experiences of older women which made this book feel so refreshing and such a break away from what I would've expected in a sapphic book. LOVE LOVE LOVE!!!!

Very much a love letter to all the girlies obsessed with the song "Stacy's Mom" before realizing they're bisexual. *cough cough* me *cough cough*

The mommy issues trope really bothered me, and the main characters’ lack of concern for their daughter/friend was very unsavoury.

This was so good it gave me a panic attack. Meryl Wisner, thank you for bringing this cheesy, lovey, wish-fulfillment fantasy of a queer romance into my life. They held my hand and stroked my hair and said hey babe it’s okay we can pretend all is good and lovely in the world for 344 pages. They chipped little cracks at the romance genre with elegantly improbable situations, marrying the fan-fiction-esque nature of the subject matter with genuinely fantastic writing that gripped me and wouldn’t let go. When we talk about “queering” a subject, it’s not always literally making it queer, but in this case, Meryl queered the romance genre in every sense. I loved them when they gave me Something to Talk About, and I only love them more now. Enbies writing sapphic romance. It’s all I want.

In the car? Check. In an alley? Check. A bathroom? Check. With a strap? Check. You name it, they've done it. Hands down one of the steamiest books I've ever read. Not ashamed to admit I had to take a moment to gather myself a few times LOL.
I know the age gap isn't for everyone, but honestly, I forgot about it half the time until the book reminded me.
So if you're looking for a lighthearted, silly, and clearly written by someone who knows the girlies... read it.
I personally found the writing to be engaging, the pacing just right, and I really enjoyed the back and forth narrative jumps between the characters.
Now let me get back to taking notes. Lol, jk. Maybe.

The age-gap romance was fun, but the friendship between Cassie and Parker is one of the least believable interpersonal writing I’ve seen. The twist where Parker discovers Cassie’s relationship with her mother from reading the texts on Cassie’s laptop was obvious, but the worst part was that she quietly accepted it without talking to Cassie while processing her feelings???? Acacia just fixes everything off page??????? . If you turn off your brain, it’s still a great read.
