This book wasn’t for me. The writing style is repetitive and doesn’t ask the reader to do any work. I also found the characters finally getting together to be anticlimactic. I’m sure this is the right book for someone else, but unfortunately I wasn’t that reader.Â

I liked this book and I always want to support LGBTQ novels, especially romance. But it all fell a little flat for me, it was *too* slow of a burn and the power imbalance just ended up feeling sort of ick to me.

this makes me sad I really had high hopes for this ðŸ˜not only was it sooo slow paced (literally no actual development happens until the last 10 pages?) but the characters had next to zero chemistry

One of my easiest five star reads I have ever had. I loved this book every second and I can't wait to read more of Meryl's books.
I adore the setting of a producer and assistant because I admittedly love the pull of "forbidden" relationships. (As long as it is consensual and shit, I am not a shitty person.)
Both characters were written so well imo and I could relate to their emotionality so well. They might not have had the most depth and a few facets could have been explored more, but within the scop of the book we learned so much about them. Despite her flaws I truly enjoyed Jo's growth so much, her willingness to stand up for what needs to be done and to admit when she messed up and actually change. I adored the support system of Avery and Evelyn they have and props to Chantal!
I loved the end and I am so so glad they got their living together and being happy!

I find no fault with this book!
Queer characters are written beautifully complicated and unique. Fat character's are written well and not derogatory or sad. The sibling relationships are realistic. Glad I gave this one a shot after reading Meryl's other book because I wasn't a fan of that one...
