In Her Court by Tamsen Parker

A super sweet summer romance~
There are several things I absolutely adored about this book, not least being the explicit communication during intimate moments. Van and Willa do have issues communicating outside the bedroom and being on the same page, but I loved seeing them talk through their comforts and what gets them off.
I also absolutely adored Van’s friendship with Nate and his relationship with Willa. There was so much obvious love between all three of them and it felt very Found Family with regards to Van and Nate.
So much on-page geekery, and so many 80s references (which, being a product of the 90s, I didn’t always get) made this an absolutely fun read.
The conflict near the end felt very organic and realistic with regards to the gaps in their communication.
Content warnings: on page sex (including oral, fingering, use of vibrator/toys, outdoors), casual ableism?, scene where MC lashes out about her own insecurities, internal turmoil for MC re: telling best friend that she’s intimately involved with his sister.
