this was cute & fun - but I just wanted a little bit more. I loved the characters, the friendship, and the queerness 💜 i also loved their careers as a photographer/journalism girlie myself 📸 I wish we had gotten a little more tension & build up in the present day between Gemma & Celeste, the pacing of their relationship felt a little off as the plot progressed. I enjoyed seeing Gemma’s character growth & felt like she was the star of the story. Miscommunication/ poor communication is always gonna irk me too. Overall, a fun queer read for the summer 🏳️‍🌈
