Gabriella Gamez delivers a sweet sapphic romance in Kiss Me, Maybe, balancing humor, heart, and self-discovery in the best way possible. Angela Gutierrez is a charming, relatable protagonist—an ace, late-bloomer librarian who suddenly goes viral and decides to use her newfound platform to finally get her first kiss. The scavenger hunt concept? Genius. The tension? Off the charts.

But what truly makes this book shine is Krystal Ramirez, the bartender and longtime crush who keeps inserting herself into Angela’s journey, all while claiming love isn’t in the cards for her. Their chemistry is undeniable, and every interaction crackles with longing, humor, and deep emotional stakes.

Gamez does an incredible job portraying Angela’s ace identity with nuance, and the way the book explores self-worth, love, and vulnerability is both refreshing and deeply moving. Krystal’s arc is equally compelling, as she grapples with her fears and what it means to truly open her heart.

If you love slow burn romance with tension, mutual pining, and characters who make you feel every moment, Kiss Me, Maybe is a must read. It’s fun, flirty, and packed with heart—perfect for fans of sapphic rom coms and found family vibes. Highly recommend!

Thank you to NetGalley, Gabriella Gamez, and Forever for the eARC of this book.
