I loved this book so much! It was fun, sexy and emotional in so many ways focusing on a story line about the more adult themes of queerness and finding out your queer later in life. 
Astrid was such a star in this book. She was honest and real with just the right amount of feeling like your growing into your parents. 
Jordan. Sweet Jordan. I thought she was the sweetest thing while also having a strong sense of self and not being written as just ‘love interest’. Both women were strong and coupled each other perfectly. I wasn’t groaning reading one part and waiting for the next, both were equally amazing.
I adored the queer culture in the book from the tarot to the books to the casualness of just being queer as an adult. 
This book had me giggling and screaming at the characters. And maybe a few tears were shed too. What can I say? I believe in destiny. 

Thank you to Berkeley and NetGalley for sending me the eARC for an honest review.
