Really enjoyable story. loved the Sapphic energy in this book.  The normalcy.  WLW get to have their small town fantasy too. And it's nice to see friendship be such an integral part of the storyline....but...

Iris acted like a bully when they were kids and is still making people uncomfortable and being rude even as an adult. It was difficult for me to see her portrayed as a good friend, with no criticism of or consequences for her behalf. even physical assault seems to be okay if she's the one who does it.  

Also these characters are freaking alcoholics! There is not a task aside from their jobs that they can do without something alcoholic to drink in their hands.  it's nice to see women be able to drink without criticism,  but this level of constant, automatic alcohol consumption is seriously unhealthy. Therapy would work better and be easier on their livers. 

And as far as representation goes,  the Sapphic rep is great,  but that's it. This is a glaringly white small town (perhaps accurate in a former sundown state but still annoying), full of conventionally attractive,  vigorously healthy ablebodied cis white folks. Unrealistic and grosss. 

Part of me wants to read the next 2 books,  but I don't know if I can get past the drinking and representation issues, not to mention Iris. So probably not.  Back to more diverse romances

This book was difficult to get through because I didn't love Delilah's character. She was similar to Josh and I didn't appreciate the comparison of those two characters. The ending was predictable and didn't have a grand resolution. I also didn't connect well with Claire, but I desperately wanted too I just wish she was the main focus in the book and not Delilah because she had more conflicts in her life to deal with.

This was a great little fluffy read. It was so nice to see two women fall in love. 

At times the book was a little cringey or cliche and sometimes the characters were a bit immature but I think it’s because they had a lot of unresolved trauma. I really liked Iris and Delilah’s back and forth banter. It was nice to see how these ladies’ relationships developed. The sex scenes were very beautiful and well-written. I did feel like sometimes the author over emphasized their queerness and feminism to the point where the sentence was a little awkward or cringey.

All in all a very cute read. I enjoyed it.
