Sizzle Reel by Carlyn Greenwald
3.5

Somehow I missed that this was a love triangle and I’m glad I did cause I may not have even given it a chance if I had. They’re usually really not my thing at all because if the MC ends up with the person I don’t want them to it ruins everything for me. But it worked for me here! So just a head up on that I feel like you either love or hate that trope. Anyway, this was a really refreshing read for me. I love romance (obviously) but this felt like the author had a unique point of view which is always a nice change. As much as this is a romance it’s actually very much about Luna figuring out her sexual identity and it’s a messy process for her. I mean that in the best way though, because while she’s a huge mess it’s understandable because she young and she’s also really likable and endearing so that helps. It did take a little bit of time for things to get going here, I would say about halfway through is when I started to get invested so know it’s a slow start. But still worth a read for me, I liked the angst, the drama, the insider LA setting and the concept of found family. If you like sapphic romance/coming of age stories try this
