A fun read that I didn't think would get as much laughs out of me.
I loved the angsty free-spirit and mom pairing, it is not one we see often and usually one benefits more than the other with the other storyline almost too simple or lacking. I felt like both Delilah and Claire were well designed to feel like actual people with actual things going on in their life that feel big, regardless if they are big to everyone around them.
I don't usually care for miscommunication tropes, but it was just set up with so much background that you could see how the character's got to that point because of miscommunication and how it affected them.
There were some flashback parts at the beginning that seemed a bit awkward and there was a small dip in pacing in the middle of the book where the author was setting up for the end and all of the big feelings. But nothing that really ruined my experience.
Certainly worth a read if you are a sucker for queer friend group finding love series or if you are just looking for a funny romance with a some heavier feelings involved.
