I devoured this adorable novel in less than two days and I’m genuinely not that fast of a reader, I was just obsessed. And honestly I usually don’t enjoy romance novels but this one was just so stinking cute. Absolutely recommend to anyone in need of some good sapphic smut. Only two things I was disappointed with really. First, the book talks quite a bit about inclusivity and yet as far as I could understand, every single one of the main characters in this book were white. Literally the only people of color were either side characters or the subjects of Delilah’s art, and I feel like I could take an entire essay to unpack that…Anyways the second thing is gonna seem very silly compared to that, but I was a tiny bit disappointed that this was sold to me as a “bookstore romance” but there are only two whole scenes inside the bookstore. That’s all to say I truly enjoyed this book and would recommend it, but was confused by the lack of POC.
