Cyn and Juleesa are just friends, no matter what everyone else thinks. Yeah they touch and spend all their time together, but what's a little kissing between friends? This sapphic friends to lovers story would be a simple slam dunk if they could just get on the same page. The banter in this is top notch, and ther were multiple times that I actually laughed out loud. The references to the H and the relateable slange were a nice touch, and I loved all the queer rep and sex positivity. The pacing was a bit off, and I think this book needed to be longer or shorter. It's in a weird middle ground where there was some fluff and descriptions could have been left out, or the story expanded to do more showing instead of telling. That said, I had a good time reading this and I will keep picking up Chencia's work.
