I enjoyed this way more than I thought I would. I have not read a good non-fantasy romance in a while. The only issues I had with this story is some parts were a tad cringey and some parts felt like it dragged/went into crazy detail but I feel like with the latter issue, it's only a problem for me because I'm use to romances that are written with less detail.
The story also made me feel a lot of anxiety and sadness which I did not expect. It's not a bad thing because the author does an AMAZING job conveying those emotions and getting you sucked into what the main characters are feeling. I also loved that while I was reading, I kept guessing and assuming the worst was going to happen because some of these characters have bad trauma and hurt people hurt people but it didn't happen.
I love reading characters that communicate efficiently, set boundaries and showcase healthy and mature behavior. Claire and Delilah were so cute together, and such loveable characters with amazing character development.
I also appreciated how there was no super uncomfortable scenes that focused on someone coming out/homophobia. There were so many queer people and no uncomfyness or anything that induced a *side eye*
I instantly started the next book after this.
