Thank you Forever for the #gifted review copy and Hachette Audio for the ALC!

This was a cute second chance sapphic romance. College exes, Gemma and Celeste meet again in their late 20s to collaborate on a work project. 

This was fun, lighthearted, and overall enjoyable. I flew through this one, and it was a very quick read for me. While told from two povs, Gemma’s chapters really carried this book. I may have even preferred this to have been one singular pov. 

I tandem read my advanced copy while listening to the audiobook. Natalie Naudus was fantastic as always. I also enjoyed Catherine Ho’s performance as well. The audiobook definitely elevated my reading experience.

My rating: 3.75⭐️
