Queer Awakening
Workplace Romance
Coming Out Later in Life

I absolutely loved all the queer rep in this book.  The small-town romance I didn't even know I needed.  The friendships, the side characters, and the setting were all so lovely too.  I love the vibe of Bright Falls and I was happy to read more from this world.  It was also lovely to read more about Astrid and getting to see her find out who she is without her mother controlling everything.  It was so satisfying to see her character development.

I think this has to be one of the sexiest books I’ve read recently.  While it’s not all about the sex, what is there was fascinating.

Astrid and Jordan need each other in completely different but complementary ways.  They help each other heal through some extreme trauma, and also learn many new things about themselves.

This story had the perfect amount of banter mixed with thoughtful dialog and humor.  Ashley Herring Blake is quickly solidifying herself as a must-read for me.
