This was a great stroy with two FMCs that have great chemistry with each other, NO miscommunication (which I am starting to see as a trend with sapphic romances, and I am here for it) and also seeing how Sophie was able to navigate being in her first queer relationship. Having read both gay and sapphic romances, I really appreciated Barrett and her pacing for their (Amy and Sophie) relationship as it developed. Yes, it did seem to be insta love for the two of them (both prior to getting together and even when they did) and personally, I am not a fan of that. I also felt that their "third act" breakup, while not based on miscommunication, was rushed in how we didn't really see actual chracter growth from Amy on being able to dicate and "fix" for others.
Great book, and I would be very interested in reading more from Barrett.
