Thanks to Forever for the free copy of this book.
- Ooh did I love JUST PLAYING HOUSE. It’s the perfect blend of sweet, serious, silly, and just a little spice.
- Farah Heron said she wrote this book to show that sick people and people with high risk of becoming sick are worthy of being loved just as they are, and boy did she knock it out of the park. This book is filled with hard feelings and thorny conversations, but it feels safe and tender the whole way through.
- Marley and Nikhil had such great chemistry, and I loved this version of second chance where they barely had a first chance and were figuring out if they were ready to try it for real.
- Also, love a low key queer romance: Marley is bi and demi.
