This is a review of the audiobook.
This was such a cute, second chance, sapphic story. I think Gemma and Celeste were definitely supposed to find each other again so many years later. The first time they dated was a right person, wrong timing kind of thing. But the way they're reunited and are almost forced to work together and reconnect made my heart happy.
I didn't love the way Celeste handled the original break up. I get that she was stressed and preoccupied but there's no way she just "forgot" to tell Gemma what was going on and just went no contact for no reason. And then to get upset when she found out Gemma had moved on and was dating a man also didn't seem fair. I think this could have maybe gone in a different direction but I understand why it was part of the story.
