super fun!! some really strong characters, a lovely romance, and just enough tension/conflict to keep u stressing. also?? HOT???? we DO NOT get enough well written explicit WLW sex and this book delivers and delivers FREQUENTLY, JFC. also love love love that said sex avoids rlly any pitfall of age gap or WLW stuff: they both get chances to be assertive, they laugh and joke, they are both fully aware of what they’re getting into and Enthusiastically consent, they truly do care for each other’s pleasure and well being even before they rlly Care for Each Other, again it is EXPLICIT rather than weird vague metaphors, and they get to own their horniness!!! no passive actors here!!! rlly rlly good, liked a whole lot. if i had to ding for anything it’d be that

parker still not knowing by the 70% mark had me about throw up from anxiety lmfao but obv i made it. also the ending was a lil excessively goopy but it’s a romance so duh. also sapphic couples double proposing ftwalso
Spoiler
kept bracing for cassie’s mom to show up but never happened and honestly? LOVE. the conflict would have been completely unnecessary and i was dreading it the Entire book just for it not to happen bc why would it, the author ACTUALLY MEANT IT when she said cassie’s mom isn’t in her life and the narrative is completely cool with that. OBSESSED, PLS TAKE NOTE @ ANYONE ELSE WRITING FAMILY TRAUMAModerate: Infidelity

Devoured this! Erin and Cassie are so sweet (and spicy) together and I enjoyed reading about them so much. Besides them, this whole book is filled with sapphic background couples and that made me so so happy.
Their relationship developed in a natural way (meaning they tried staying away from each other but didn't succeed at all) and the pacing of it really made sense.
I wish we had more exploration of Erin and Cassie's jobs and like...passions besides making out with each other. I was alright with it but be prepared that this is very much a romance-y romance!
The Inevitable Drama™ was handled way better than I've seen in other romances in this trope and everything was just really feel-good in the end.
And god the sex scenes?? So good! And so much variety 🥵 gimme more
