I love this book. I knew that it would be good, but it exceeded my expectations. This was my first time reading a sapphic contemporary romance and lemme tell you, it was so relatable it was almost painful lol. It definitely felt accurate to my own experience, and I appreciate that more than I can say.
This book only had one flaw that went away, and that was that at first I had a bit of difficulty telling apart Ruby and Morgan’s inner voices, but by halfway through I could tell one sentence in who it was without having to check.
It does have a third act conflict, but it was realistic and not just something stupid like miscommunication. Something that real, flawed human beings would do.
I also enjoyed the family relationships, Morgan and her brother and parents, Ruby and her ex-step dad. Even Ruby and her mother, and though it was negative, I think that was done well.
Also it’s just adorable and sweet and the last chapter owns my heart. I’ll probably read some other books by this author, because I like her style and approach to things. Definitely a new favorite. Also, it reminds me of a sapphic I'll Be There, so if you liked that you'll probably enjoy this.
Side note: I was listening to an artists I like new album (Tantrums - Xana) and it was the perfect soundtrack for this book.
