This was exactly the kind of low-stakes, lighthearted, romance story I was in the mood for. Eleanor has embarked on a year of doing wild things to try to switch things up in her life. Partway through the year she and three friends jump at a chance to move out of the city and purchase an old house in the country to start a queer commune. The only catch is Eleanor is in love with her best friend and is terrified of rocking the boat. 

These characters are so well developed and lovable. The first half of the book was a little slow for my taste, but overall just a pleasant reading experience. 

Thanks to NetGalley for this advanced copy in exchange for an honest review.
