sweet sapphic romance with an a-hole verbally abusive father, I did really enjoy this, the dad was a lot like my own, a bully, but overall it was a funny, sweet book that I thoroughly enjoyed. I wish they'd gotten into the mom more though. I'm glad they didn't really try to redeem the dad and give him so excuse. The narrators were great but I wish they'd had more distinctive voices, it was a bit confusing at parts who's POV you were in.
Graphic: Emotional abuse and Sexual content
Moderate: Cancer and Death of parent
Minor: Infidelity
Infidelity is in past with the parents not with the MCs.
