Alexandria Bellefleur is so consistent in delivering sweet, cookie-cutter romances. She's easily a go-to author if I'm looking for a straight-forward spicy sapphic romance. (Her spicy scenes are <i>good</i> good.) I also love the complexity of the growth the characters go through over the course of the novel and it is shown so well through their conversations and the way they approach their relationships with others.
However, I think her works painfully lack diversity (besides the queer rep of course). I would kill for some POC/trans/disabled/Jewish/mentally ill rep in this world. It feels a little too "picture perfect" cis white able-bodied Hallmark movie for me.
