Have you ever read a romance book that had you sighing like a teenager reading Twilight for the first time? I hadn’t- until I read this book.

This is the cutest book ever, and I’m not typically a romance fan. It had lesbians, bisexuals, a favourite trope of mine (the dating bet trope), a small amount of angst, a ton of love and heart and joy.

Delilah is such a lovely character and honestly I loved her development. I think that it’s a really interesting arc for her- going from being bitter and lonely to opening up and also realising just how much grief can blind you. I think she and Isabel are two sides of the same coin, which is why they don’t get along, but where Isabel controls Astrid, Delilah controls herself. 

Also Claire is toooootally my type. She’s such a sweetheart and it’s nice having a plus sized woman be so happy and loved and confident in herself. I really liked Astrid and Iris too. Watching Claire come out of her shell and learn to trust others is really gorgeous.

The smut is soooooo good 👀 not over the top but gentle and sweet and pretty hot too. An instant favourite and I cannot wait for the sequels! Especially the next book with Astrid as the main lady.
