College senior Cassie hooks up with an older woman Erin, and only afterward discovers that the woman was her best friend’s mom!

I did not expect this to work for me. But somehow it did! The forbidden-ness of the relationship and the looming threat of Erin’s daughter finding out about the relationship create a sense of anxiety that managed to not take away from the sexy, fun, and effective description of falling in love despite all best intentions. The pacing can feel weird at times, as this book doesn’t follow the exact structure you may expect from a romance novel. 

Overall, I would recommend this book- come for the steamy sex and undeniable chemistry, stay for the chosen family and self discovery.

Thanks to NetGalley and the publishers for giving me an eARC in return for an honest review!
