If youโve read Delilah Green, then you know most of the trigger warnings are about Astridโs relationship with her mother.corrieroe's review against another edition

Not only is it my first 5 โญ rom-com but it is also my first 5 โญ adult queer romance.
I laughed, I giggled and I cried numerous times.
I would do anything for Astrid and Jordan, as individuals or a couple ๐ฅบ
Astrid healed my mommy issued ass so much.
I didn't think Jordan was my type by the cover but I have seen fan casts and now I'm obsessed with soft butches ๐๐
Also the spice was ๐ค๐ป๐ฅ๐ฅ

The HGTV vibes of this book were really well done. I was afraid that this was going to be the only thing able to propel this book because of Astrid's personality but woah was I totally wrong. Astrid was so much more than what we got to see in book 1, we get to see just how much her mother and all of the expectations on her actually weigh on her and she doesn't want them. Watching Astrid break free and just be and let her relationships become real was such a fun ride.
Jordan was such a great character to read. She was so relatable in feeling like her life was a mess when in reality she had just had a bunch of crappy things going on in a row. I was invested in what happened to her and her former wife. I was invested in how much the Inn meant to her. Honestly Jordan was a much softer version of Delilah and I absolutely loved it.
The angst and pining in this was top tier. I think that Astrid and Jordan have become my favorite couple in this series. And they may stay that way but I'll have to give Iris a chance.

With that said, something was missing for me. The main conflict in the second half of the book could have been avoided, or changed, and I felt that way for a large chunk of the book. But then I got to the last couple chapters and I saw the vision for the ending, so while I understand why the book was written the way it was I strongly believe there was another option that would have had better communication and less general lying.
