I do think the book itself was slightly longer than it needed to be. Part of that was because of how much time takes place, I think. It just felt a little drawn out. But I did enjoy the romance! It felt realistic to me.
If you do pick this up, be warned there are some pretty heavy themes of grief and dealing with past traumas from abuse. It's still a rom-com, but definitely with some heavier themes.

Definitely read for the exploration of trauma, grief and healing but the relationship isn’t stereotypically fluffy like you’d expect. I might pick up any sequels if they follow the other characters because some of them were really interesting and hopefully I’ll like them more.

- Not to mention, we hardly ever see traditionally published sapphic romances featuring fat and/or butch characters, so this was a real treat.
- Honestly, SEASON OF LOVE is just a perfect example of what romance can do - explore hard experiences and topics with a gentle hand, and show the characters and the readers that everyone deserves more and better for themselves.
