Noelle moved to Austin for work, but she’s just been made redundant and upon returning home finds her boyfriend is now her ex-boyfriend after attempting to cheat on her with ethically non-monogamous Allie. After Noelle’s ex-boyfriend getting the kicked to the curb, Allie invites Noelle to stay temporarily with her and her life partner Matt. With a planned music festival trip in place, Noelle agrees to join the couple for their trip. But what starts as a kind offer, starts to include some sparks that begin to fly between all three.

So I’ve done something, I’ve never done before - I read this book outside of its series order. 🤣 although I may go back and read books 1 & 3 after this? This is a cute story about bisexual leads and exploring a couple of different forms of polyamory within one relationships dynamic. Was it my favourite rom-com? No, it was missing some elements somehow, but did it bring me joy? Absolutely! I’m loving delving into more queer stories lately and felt very seen with a character realising their bisexual in their 30s in what feels an unexpected manner having done the same only a few months ago. 🤣 so if you’re keen on something short, sweet and a little steamy - give this one a go! 🥰
