This was a cute and fun little sapphic romcom. I previously read Not My Problem by the same author, but I think I prefer this book. The story felt a lot more coherent for me. I think the main character is really well written. Saoirse is so deeply flawed, yet I do sympathise with her. Perhaps it's partly personal bias since I recognise part of her story in my own life.
I must also say that I did particularly live the way this book ended which for spoiler reasons I won't go into. But it was refreshing and satisfying in its own way. 
This book read quite quickly and was exactly what I needed at the end of this month
