3.5 but rounding up!
very sweet and fun- don’t know if i would call it a comedy, but the characters are all so charming and i really loved their growth throughout
also love that this is a series- seeing the stories be woven together and getting to see characters from previous books continue to develop is so rewarding, plus the friendship between all of these women is so sweet
i love the way ashley herring blake writes w/ inclusivity so naturally woven in. i feel like you can tell that she made the kind of books she felt were missing and that will be a safe space for a lot of queer people, which is worth supporting.
her prose is just not my favorite style- i prefer more humor and i feel like the flowery stuff doesn’t hit as hard as some other romance i’ve read, but i liked them and will for sure read more stuff from her in the future!

This was so cute! I really loved getting to read Astrid’s journey to finding herself and how genuine her connection with Jordan was. The pacing was perfect and I’m so happy with the ending. I really thoroughly enjoyed this book!

Definitely liked it better than book 1– I really enjoyed Astrid and Jordan’s chemistry, plus Jordan’s an absolute hottie so that definitely helped. I think the established world building also helped focus in on the characters themselves more, and the relationship was very sweet. I rated 4*s because the author has this weird thing about separating trans men from cis men when they’re all men and it really just icks me out. It’s like really short and not very relevant dialogue, but respectfully and lovingly I can assure you trans men can also fuck up your life and be shitty to you LOL. But Y’know aside from that tangent and the way she likes to sprinkle in diversity for minor characters and constantly referencing it while having an all white all cis main friend group, I liked the story a lot!
