I really enjoyed this audiobook. It’s a great sapphic love story that’s not too sappy or fake, with some pretty damn hot sapphic bedroom action too.
It’s well written and narrated; I really like Natalie Naudus and I’ve not come across Cathrine Ho before but I could listen to her voice all day! She sounded a bit older than the character she was voicing but honestly I don’t care, that voice is lush.
The pace of the audiobook is just right and I enjoyed the switching of narrator, it kept the whole thing moving and there was a different feel then for each character, making them more distinct.
The story is set in San Francisco with the two main characters being South Korean. It’s got some really important layers to it focusing on cultural expectations and acceptance of queerness. And the representation, or lack of it, for Asian queers.
The central character is also Bi and it’s nice to read a book that is entirely sapphic that also doesn’t diminish or belittle the Bi part of the main character.
With some healthy coping mechanisms coming into play it feels like a book I wish I could have read a long time ago.
I definitely recommend this one but maybe listen on headphones if kids are around as it gets steamy!!
