This is book one of three novellas all set in the same queer karaoke bar, and Anita brings their unique talent for making everyday people seem so real and emphasizing the importance of love in our lives - how common it is, yet how special.
One thing that stands out to me in all of Anita's books is how the characters are regular working-class folks with bills to pay and modest but important lives. I love it so much. It shouldn't be so rare in romance but it is!
Sam and Lily are so sweet together. They make an incredible amount of space for each other and there is a gift from Lily to Sam at one point that had me like
Also I absolutely adore karaoke so reading these meet cutes at the karaoke bar is really doing it for me.
