Cash Delgado Is Living the Dream by Tehlor Kay Mejia

4.5

I didn’t realize this was best friends to lovers when I started it but ahhhh. I loved Cash’s whole sexuality crisis, it was so funny and relatable, I laughed out loud early on when she was like “I'm just a regular straight girl who had a regular sex dream about my lesbian best friend. No big deal at all.” And then the scene where she realizes that she’s a lesbian had me tearing up. The romance was so so good too. ❤️

I loved that even though they live in a small town, there’s still a queer community, and Cash’s journey to accept that she’s a part of it and that there’s people who support her (both in terms of her sexuality and in general) made me so emotional. Cash’s daughter Parker was also SUCH a good character. Ngl I don’t always like kids in books but she was so cute and has such a personality. 

I read this in one sitting in a couple of hours and I had an amazing time. I might even bump it up to a 5 star the more I think about it, but for now I’ll leave it at a 4.5, rounding down. Thanks to Random House and NetGalley for the digital ARC, all opinions are my own.
