Thank you to Forever for the gifted advance copy of this book!
This was such a sweet, sapphic read! Gemma and Celeste were drawn together like magnets, and I loved the way they couldn’t stay away from one another. They are clearly so comfortable together, and I really loved that they were both always up front with the other - no miscommunication tropes here! This was really lighthearted, without a ton of conflict, and is a very lighthearted read.
Gemma’s friendship with Val and Kiara is so beautiful, and I love that they help her feel included in the queer community, and seen and validated as a bisexual woman. Gemma is so accepted in who she is and who she wants to be, and it’s so wonderful to see 🥹
I also loved the way that Korean heritage and culture is woven all throughout! We get to see two different Korean-American experiences with both Gemma and Celeste, and I love the way they find pieces of themselves and their culture in the other, like they become a home away from home for the other.
Also fuck James - that guy sucks.
