this was overall a fun romance read even though some of the dialogue and characterization made me cringe
i think that Erin being a doctor wasn't too realistic here LOL but i did tear up because i love sapphics
read this if you want some fun smut and sentimentalism and hopeful friendships but don't expect it to be life changing

I really didn’t enjoy this. The entire concept just weirded be out and I was uncomfortable most of the time. It’s not the book’s fault, it’s not like it makes a secret about what it’s about. This is entirely my fault for thinking I could warm up to this.

I did not expect to completely adore Erin and Cassie the way I did. Yes, the friend's mom / daughter's friend dynamic did make me uncomfortable at times, but they had brilliant chemistry right from the start and by the end of the book I was just so in love with both of their characters and with their relationship, and really did think they worked well together. I also absolutely loved the found family element of the story and the variety of relationships that are explored in addition to the central romance.
I did feel that, as we got to see Erin going to therapy and really working on her issues and undergoing some great character development, it would've been even better if we had gotten to get a bit more into Cassie's character and past and development too (she does undergo some important growth, but her character isn't explored to the extent that Erin's is in my opinion). It also bugged me a bit that there's a lot of drinking featured, and that this isn't really explored in any meaningful or critical way. However, this book was exactly what I needed to read at the time that I read it and it just made my heart so fucking happy, and it's been a while since a romance book has stayed on my mind as much as this one has; Erin and Cassie deserve the entire world.
