This is a really sweet slow burn romance between a painfully shy, family-loving, soft hearted butch lesbian, and a sweet, outgoing woman who always believed she was straight. Denny receives a text intended for someone else from Eliza, complete with selfies, and the two begin an exchange that develops into a friendship and deeper feelings.

For me personally this book was a 3 star read, simply because the tropes here aren’t my favorite. I don’t love age gap, I’m not typically into butches, and the toaster oven trope (especially when the woman in question seems completely blindsided even on introspection) doesn’t really do it for me. Objectively, though, with the writing and character development, and the way Jae just gets people, I’m giving it four stars, and if those tropes are your thing I think you’ll love it.
