The Accidental Pinup by Danielle Jackson

3.5
Listened to the audiobook.
Overall I found this to be a nice cozy romance that checked all the right boxes. Nothing super high stakes. Bipoc, queer, and body diversity representation that was handled well.
I really appreciated how (after the 3rd act breakup) the MMC took steps to correct what he had done to the FMC, put in the extra effort to show just how much he was proud of her and her work, and used his privilege and success to help connect her with future opportunities. I do wish there was more groveling. Or more angst from the MMC over his deception.
Loved the sapphic rep, particularly that we got married sapphics who were starting a family. Sam’s character reminds me why I love to be friends with blunt and slightly mean people.
