I loved the romance between Claire and Delilah, they have such a sweet and sexy connection. I loved Claire as a character and as a mother, you can really feel her love for her daughter. Although overall I liked Delilah, her “everybody hates me I’m so alone” inner monologue got very tiring very fast….like you are 30, have a conversation with your damn sister lol. The humor and dialogue at times is very millennial, but it’s not always so it didn’t take too much away from my enjoyment of the book. One thing that drove me crazy is the constant alcohol though…..every scene it’s “ugh I need a drink” like please seek therapy lol. Also, there is ONE character of color in this 390 page book and they have a very very minor role, like they’re mentioned twice. For how diverse the queer characters are, it’s a bit frustrating for me as a queer WOC. The writing style was pretty solid, but didn’t stand out to me. There’s a fun cast of characters and their interactions feel pretty genuine. Overall this was a great read! Excited to continue with the series.
