I don't normally read romcom kinda books but I ended up liking this one more than I expected. Good writing, sweet portrayals of both platonic and romantic love, and some pretty hot lesbian sex. I was hesitant about a recently coming out story but this book didn't fall into the tropes I was hoping to avoid. I also liked that being gay wasn't an obstacle or big source of tension in the story, it just was. My only real complaint is just that Bette is pretty annoying and it's kinda hard to see why Ruth would put up with her nonsense.
