Everything I could’ve hoped for!!

Wow! I’m enamored with the characters and everything else about this book. I’m always overjoyed to read a sapphic book with characters that look like me. This book is truly beautiful. It gave me all the emotions. Joy, pleasure, anxiety, grief, the feeling of community, healing and ultimately love. What Angel & Phee have? I want all of that. I’m sure I’ll reread this again. The spicy scenes had me fanning myself, the comedic parts had me cackling and all the beautifully adorable love scenes are enough to make me read this again.

Short, sweet, sexy

Short book. Super fun read. Some corny nicknames and terminology used but that added to the sweetness that was needed to balance the sexy. Very enjoyable and heat inducing, if you know what I mean 😉

cute story

This was a pretty good book. The couple was cute. Some parts felt a little dragged out, but overall, I enjoyed it.
