I’m torn about my review of this novella. I actually almost DNFed a couple of chapters in because I was hating the writing style (and the first person point of view! UHG!!) but it just seemed silly to do that when there’s less than 200 pages. I’m glad I decided to keep going, though. Once our two leading ladies actually got together, it got a better. I still don’t love the writing or the perspective, but there was a lot of heart in the story, plus a LOT of spice (with an emphasis on consent!) for such a short story. I also appreciated the neurodivergent rep - both ADHD and autism. I very much related to Clara’s ADHD thought process that lead to baking instead of making dinner lol If you need a quick read, it’s worth picking up.
