Reviews with content warning for Panic attacks/disorders - Astrid Parker Doesn't Fail

The people were right: this is even better than Delilah Green doesn't care, which I almost didn't think was possible, but here we are

BUT, where is my hot soft butch carpenter girlfriend???? And where is my cute and fluffy and fucking sexy love story???? I'm jealous, to say the least

(also, I am Astrid Parker, Astrid Parker is me... which was kind of scary, tbh)

I think I just wasn’t in the mood to read this otherwise I may have liked it a bit more. (Or maybe not who knows) I kinda had to force myself to finish once I hit 71% 😭 but I did like how the story ended overall. I also felt like Astrid was a completely different person compared to Delilah’s story but I do realize we only saw her through Delilah’s pov so that might be why. Otherwise this was okay 🤷🏽‍♀️

God I love the comedy and I wished Astrid was more of a bisexual disaster. Also the romance was a let down because Jordan didn't want to be used and heart broken but that quickly was dismissed and yeah.. better as friends than lovers at least until the third book.

I WANT TO LIVE IN THIS WORLD FOREVER AND BE FRIENDS WITH ALL OF THESE PEOPLE.

I am only taking off the half star because the third act’s inciting incident felt a bit contrived, and I didn’t really get why it played out the way it did? Other than that, no notes.

Cute and emotional. I would have liked more spice! But it was still a great book. It was interesting to see Astrid realize she wasn't straight! But I can see how she wouldn't know because she was raised to only think of being with a man. I also liked Jordan's storyline, with the abandonment and default romance in her own way. Overall a great book.
