CASH DELGADO IS LIVING THE DREAM is a small town, friends-to-lovers sapphic romance that is, quite honestly, one of my new favorite books. cash is a single mom, a bartender, and straight. she's straight!! except she starts having recurring sex dreams starring her best friend, inez, which force her to wonder if she's actually as straight as she thinks she is. as if that weren't stressful enough, her old manager/past hookup is back in town with plans to open a bar that could mean the end of joyce's bar, where cash and inez work. as they work together to come up with a way to save joyce's, cash can't keep ignoring the attraction she feels toward her best friend.
i loved this book so much that i wish i could read it again for the first time but i already know this will be one of my rereads because that's how much i enjoyed it. single parent is one of my favorite tropes, even more so when it's a single mom. and seeing the relationship cash and parker have and how cash was raising parker was so beautiful. parker is officially one of my favorite fictional children and i would read an entire book about her.
and we all know i'm a diehard friends-to-lovers girlie, so combining that with a single mom AND it's a sapphic book? the perfect book of my dreams tbh. cash and inez's relationship was so special from the beginning and i loved seeing them fall in love. of course, it's a bit of a slow burn because of cash's journey of self-discovery, which was wonderful on its own, and the love story is absolutely worth the wait.
