Where there is room for us has so many aspects that work incredibly well together:

✧ self-realization

✧ standing up for your rights

✧ fun main cast

✧ incredibly wholesome sibling dynamics

✧ cute sapphic main couple

All of this and so much more, packaged in a beautiful Regency-style story set in a queernormative world, made me fall in love from the very beginning. I was hoping for more time with these beautifully written characters, but the second half of this book flew past so quickly, so my hope is now for another book in this time just to return to the Bridge once more.

The political situation was very intriguing, so it was a bit sad you don't end up getting a glimpse of what the resolution ends up looking like. It really would have added another layer to the existing plot, which mostly focused on the romance and Freya's struggle with finding herself, which isn't a problem in and of itself since it already gave a lot of material to think about. (Also, it's apparently inspired by Hayley Kiyoko’s own experiences, which is really interesting and wholesome if her relationship is just the tiniest bit like Ivy and Freya’s.)

All in all, this book is worth reading for everyone who wants a cute sapphic romance story with themes of familial love, finding oneself, and queer joy. <3
