This book was a sweet examination of the ups and downs of navigating the transition from best friends to lovers for Ginny (they/them) and Elsie (she/her). I appreciated that the book highlighted both the challenges Ginny faced as a non-binary person and the sometimes more subtle challenges that Elsie faced as a pansexual woman who had often in the past been forced by society into performing heteronormativity. I liked the characters a lot and found their interactions compelling. The book included a good amount of spice, and the writing was strong all around. Overall, I would recommend this book to fans of friends-to-lovers romance and books about growing up and learning to identify and ask for what you really want in life.
Thank you to St. Martin’s Press for the advance copy in exchange for my honest review.
