I love romance novels in general, but I’m realizing now that as a lesbian, I especially love sapphic romances. I’ve decided I need to read as many as I can get my very single, hopeless romantic hands on. This wasn’t a perfect book or a new favorite, but I had a great time reading it. I love Avery and Merritt, and I love their friends. I love how sickeningly adorable Iliana and Lei-Ling are. I love that Avery’s best friend is an asexual guy with no trace of romantic feelings for her. I definitely recommend this, and I can’t wait to read more of Karelia’s books, especially if they’re all as delightfully gay as this one.
