This was an absolutely beautiful story with some of the most precious art I've ever seen, and more diversity in one place than I've probably ever found elsewhere. Two queer women of color as our leads, tons of QPOC and POC side characters, disabilities, disordered eating, anxiety, polyamorous relationships, and more. It was gorgeous.

As far as the storyline itself went, the plot is definitely a bit thin here, and things tend to feel pretty "slice of life", which I didn't mind at all but I know won't work for every reader. That said, even if you generally prefer more solid plots, it's such a quick-moving and lovely read that I don't think most people will mind. Austen frustrated me for a while with some emotionally manipulative behaviors, but everything we see these characters struggle with is used as a launching pad for growth, development, and important conversations, so I'm glad I was patient and didn't write her character off too early on! And, of course, the love story itself was soft, sweet, and genuine.
