I got this book via Sapphic Book Club hosted by @sapphicliterature.

★★★★,5 || How the hell so much pinning fit into such a short story?

Ok, first of all, I don't usually relate to characters in their 40s so much but Heledd is such a mood. She legit tried to google what do you wear to meet up with friends before visiting her crush's house and then she decided she's a mess but a pridefull mess -- and, this is me. I would do that.

But, anyway, we have Heledd, in her 40s, and Rosemary, in her 50s, which already is eyecatching because I don't usually see romances with people this old. And they've spent x years pinning after each other.

They also have an orchestra together and act like a married couple in front of a whole room of children on a daily basis. Yep. This oblivious.

(Ok, in their defence both of them have valid reasons for being oblivious but it's still super funny.)

So, besides amazing chemistry, pinning, and the beautiful world of classical music -- Heledd has made a certain deal. A deal that has left her on the edge for most of her life.

And, like with all deals, there comes the time to pay one's due.

But wouldn't it be great to stay by Rosemary's side instead? Especially since she may finally show a sign that Heledd's feelings are not as one-sided as she thought.
