THIS WAS SO INCREDIBLY CUTE AHHH !! I was genuinely sad once I got to the end of this book, I could have read a thousand more pages and still never been fully satisfied. I need twelve different sequels, a feature-length film, and a TV show spinoff, I cannot get enough.

I love these characters so, so much. It's always such an amazing experience to come across characters that you so wholeheartedly root for. They deserve the world and more and I don't think I'll ever stop thinking about them. I was fully giggling and kicking my feet the entire time I was reading this, definitely in my top favourite book couples.

I thought the story was really interesting, I loved how involved the grandmothers were. It's really nice to see older sapphic couples in fiction, and it was extremely endearing to see how much they supported their granddaughter in every sphere of her life. I'm definitely a big fan of found family, but there's also a special place in my heart for characters with families that are invested in their lives and support them through and through.

It's a super cozy read with a bunch of wonderful queer and disability representation, I absolutely recommend it!
