All is fun and games and romance, however all the main characters in this book seem to be in various stages of alcoholism. It clearly was not intentional, but amount of drinking in this novel - I actually regret I wasn't counting - on every occasion is concerning.

It’s not really what I usually like to read otherwise I’d rate it higher. I really appreciated the character development and the queer found family. I’m not personally into descriptive sex scenes mostly because they’re often thrown in without meaning much to the story and they end up jarring me out of the world, but these were really part of the flow.

It was good, got a little slow in some parts, then it felt like all the drama was shoved into the last 100 pages, great body positivity, it’s more borderline second chance love than enemies to lovers, it’s light on that trope, beautiful emotional spicy scenes.

I appreciated that there was a bit more complexity to the plot and characters than in other romances I’ve read, particularly Delilah’s sister being given some depth. There were a few jokes that hit but overall I wasn’t drawn in by the writing style. Toward the end I was reading it just to finish.
