 When interviewing couples in love is it possible to not obsess over your own feelings? Of course not. This second chance Sapphic romance is roommates-to-lovers, then estranged-exes-to-colleagues, colleagues-to-FWB, FWB to-what’s-next?

The chemistry between Gemma and Celeste is heard in the narration and the story itself. Communication was a problem at the end of their college days, 8 years later they know how to communicate, but they have to figure out how to trust.

As an avid audiobook listener I was surprised by the long pauses between chapters, but enjoyed all other aspects of the narration and production. As a sucker for Sapphic romances and found families, I wish we had seen more of Celeste’s chosen family.
