Definitely wanted more from this book after absolutely LOVING Queer Principles of Kit Webb.

The beginning of this book had me so excited! Letters and banter in them to start, the [redacted] thing that brings Rob and Marian together at the beginning, which was very dramatic and also kinda funny. These events set them off on what SHOULD HAVE BEEN a shenanigan/hijinks filled little road trip but was actually kind of a weird/boring book middle? I found it hard to connect with both of the MCs through what is usually catnip for me. I am such a sucker for a road trip!!

It’s like the middle 50% of the book is almost just notes or an outline without the level of detail or any of the pining and tension present in Kit’s book. BUT THEN, the last 25% of the book takes off again and the characters are super entertaining and exciting things happen.

That’s to say this book in emojis was like:

😱😮😯😑😑🥱😴🥱😑🙂😀🥰

Will I read more from Cat Sebastian? ABSOLUTELY. She does a lot of things really well, this book just missed some marks for me in the middle. The beginning and the end do bring this to a readable state and I DEFINITELY would read another book in this series. (I am very much hoping for a book about Betty, the fence. Please Cat, give us a Betty book!)
