This cute midwest lesbian romance was so sweet and had a lot of found family and character development. I enjoyed seeing the main character's journey through navigating her sexuality while being closeted in certain places, figuring out what she wants to do with her career, and learning how to be a better friend and person. It sometimes felt like the romance took a backseat to her growth, and I was okay with that because she and all her family and friends were interesting and contributed a lot to the plot. Overall it was a lovely little well-written contemporary romance read that the queer community, and specifically lesbians, deserve to have more of within our current heteronormative literary space.
