Time! Travelling! Sapphics!!!

I was hoping I'd get to finish this yesterday, as one of my last June books, but it's okay, sapphic books are fun year round, not just during pride month.

Anyway, the audiobook was lovely, the narrators both did such a great job and I had lots of fun listening to it.

As someone who reads a lot of historical fiction, sometimes I mind the inaccuracies, but not here. This was more of a "go with the flow" type of read, where all the characters were pretty chill about the time travelling once the initial shock wore off.

The romance was really cute with lots of pining and some moments that made me tear up. I was a bit surprised though, at how many potential male love interests there were, considering this was a sapphic read. All the guys were pretty cool and I'd like to follow them in their own stories (maybe, possibly), but still, I think some time was wasted on them when it could've been used to further the girls' relationship.

And overall there was something I can't pinpoint that stops this from being a five star read, but I really did enjoy it and would read more by this author in the future. Preferably more time travel, but I'm not that picky.
