Puppy Love by Elle Sprinkle
5.0

What an amazing debut novel! I was so excited to receive an ARC of <i>Puppy Love</i> because I have been looking for a good WLW book with other queer representation. Elle Sprinkle knocked this one out of the park! 

Cam is a dog groomer that left her job at a chain and is now working for a pet resort that is much better than her last employer. Cam is bisexual, although she has not been with a woman yet and has recently broken up with a toxic ex-boyfriend. She wants to forget her toxic ex and step out of her comfort zone by hooking up with someone random. She does just that, but then realizes the next day that the person she hooked up with is her new boss! Violet is recenly divorced from her wife and is a manager at the pet resort Cam is now working at. The owner is strict about employees dating, so Cam and Violet decide to act like it never happened... until they can't anymore!

I really loved everything about this book. It's so well written, and I really liked the author's writing style. It just had a flow and structure about it that I really enjoy. I loved all of the characters and am giddy because of the representation the author included. There is a lot of LGBTQIA+ representation, as well as mental health representation. It was refreshing to read and I really felt connected. Who doesn't love a book about dogs? Anything involving animals will have my attention immediately. Also, the spice in this was just so good. It was perfect! There is a lot going on in the book, and I was glued from page one. This book is the perfect way to start Pride Month! 

Thank you so much to Elle Sprinkle for the eARC of this wonderful book!
