This is the third instalment in the Bright Falls series and is quite possibly my favourite of all 3! 

Iris Kelly is the only single person left in her queer coven of women and doesn’t date anymore after being severely hurt in the past so now she just focuses on good times. Stevie is trying to get back onto the dating scene after her relationship of 6 years ended nearly a year ago and her ex whose still one of her best friends, is dating one of her other friends. On a night out that ends a bit disastrously Iris and Stevie meet. When they meet again at a small queer theatre the two offer to make a deal around fake dating… that only lasts so long. 

This book is so damn cute! And the anxiety storyline was so well done! And the will they won’t they! Ooft! It just delighted my heart! I loved the growth from both MC’s in different ways and the way they came together again and again! The girls were both my favourite kinds of MC’s as well - bold and strong in knowing yourself or finding strength in yourself again when mental health has become part of your life story!
