Thank you Netgalley for providing me with an eARC of this book!

This was the fluffy (though not always fluffy) sapphic romance I needed. I was cheesing hard throughout reading this book and I loved it. I mean obviously we all watched the Women's World Cup this summer and Megan Rapinoe did some amazing things for women everywhere and it is my humble opinion that Sutton Flores is inspired by her. What I loved most about this book was that there was no immature or childlike drama, the drama that happened was real, adult, and plausible. The adults spoke to each other like adults and like actual grown women. I sadly can't remember the last time I read a book where I truly felt like the women were real and emotionally intelligent like this. It's not that they were perfect and said and did the right thing every time, it's that they learned, listened to their friends and loved ones, they respected themselves, their friends, and their partner's opinions, emotions, and beings. That's amazing. If you're looking for a fun queer f/f romance, please pick this up you will not be disappointed. Especially considering the talks of consent, respecting boundaries, and the good things that come to those who wait.
