For the most part I really enjoyed this sapphic romance and loved all the rep we got with Claire being bisexual, a young mother and described as curvy albeit that not being clear by the cover. Delilah's described as butch, has tattoos and uses the word lesbian to describe her identity which is super refreshing since I rarely see it used anywhere really. Lesbian isn't a dirty word though!
The plot was fairly simple and I loved the chemistry Claire and Delilah had right off the bat. The flirting and sex scenes were really realistic and steamy. It probably was the most graphic sapphic sex scene I've read so far and I loved it. Most sapphic stories I've read were historical fiction and tend to be either too poetic or would fade to black so I really appreciated it.
The comedy aspect of the story could've been ampted up in my opinion. It was very heavy on the childhood trauma Delilah and Astrid shared. It hit home too and I couldn't help but painfully relate to Delilah which lowered my enjoyment overall but of course that's a very subjective reason as to why I didn't rate this book higher.
Overall I really liked this romance and the chemistry both of the MC had but I wish it was a bit lighter comedy wise and more mature overall. The cast of characters didn't feel like 30+ year olds to me but that's a knit pick. I can't wait for more sapphic romances to hit the shelves! Hopefully soon.
