This is definitely my favourite of the Bright Falls books ❤️ And sure, there are objectively things about this book that warrant criticism, but sometimes you just need a nice fluffy, spicy sapphic romance 🌈
Also:

Anxious/shy characters that end up having top energy are definitely my nemesis 🔥

challenging informative slow-paced

Super interesting, very densely packed with information- slightly too intelligent for me 😅

The Fine Print

Grumpy x sunshine trope is always a hit or miss for me - I enjoy grumpy characters as long as they don’t veer into toxic masculinity. This was definitely my regular reminder not to read alpha male romance.

This book is for you if you like:
- billionaire men a la Christian Grey
- Colleen Hoover vibes
- dark / alpha male romance

I like none of those so this book definitely wasn’t for me.
