A Sapphic Romance that is an extremely slow burn. Like spice isn't until 97% of the book slow burn. That doesn't bother me as my little ACE heart likes to get to know the characters before anything like that happens.
Some of the writing seemed a little off to me, it seemed that the writing was immature compared to the age of the main characters therefore the audience.
I enjoyed the puppies and how that brought everyone closer together. I loved the trans highschool student working his way through to find himself. I liked seeing one of the main characters work through her past beliefs to find the truth.
The plot was good as far as the direction, but I could see where there could have been more built in to draw the reader in to care more about the small town in the way the characters started to throughout the book.
The red herring love interest just kind of fell off the face of the earth after she was denied, but as a reader I began to care about her and her path and relationship with all the Rivers family.
I do know that this is the 8th book in the Rivers Community Romance series, so maybe there was more foundation on all the other characters that were mentioned before, but going in as a stand alone (which this could be read as) there was just lots of people who were mentioned but then never really got to know.
