first of all, thank you to netgalley and the author for letting me read this book in advance in exchange for an honest review.
i was very excited to read a bi4bi book that was sapphic, so i jumped into it very happily! i love a good grumpy x sunshine trope, and the fact that they were teaming up against a fuckboy made it much sweeter.
i liked how ellie and mariah grow during the events of the book, how they feed off of each other and learn how to become the best version of themselves; but (this might be my mariah side jumping out) the speed with which they develop feelings for each other felt like it was a bit too much, and the epilogue was a bit too cheesy for me.
overall it was a fun, lighthearted read and there's nothing wrong with that!
