5 stars. Susie Dumond returns with a sapphic romance novel that carries the same unique charm as Queerly Beloved. With trademark wit and tender growth, Dumond's characters leap off the page.

Gray is entering her Saturn return after the end of a long-term relationship. In the effort to find The One and start the idealized family of her dreams, she moves to New Orleans and sets out to date someone from every astrological sign.

This romance novel was a delightful insight into the trials and tribulations of queer dating. I also appreciated how Gray, as a self-identified lesbian, demonstrated how inclusive sapphic dating is. Each character, though in part inspired by the cheeky stereotypes of the Zodiac (quintessentially sapphic!), becomes a part of a broader community.

This is a romance novel about growth, exploration, and learning what matters. Equal parts sexy and sweet, Dumond's sophomore novel is a genuine and wholesome sapphic love story.
