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!

The way I loved this book!! I want to live in this small Oregon town and peruse the shelves of all the little downtown shops. The friendship shown in this story felt very natural and real to me. The dynamic between Delilah and Astrid is comical and relatable and sad, all at once. The romance is sweet, although the love is a little instant. I really loved the growth between each of the characters, both individually and together. I would definitely recommend it!

Great WLW fiction! I'd say it's like contemporary cozy with smut. I don't usually read books more than once, but I'd come back to read this one again!
