I’m not usually a mystery girlie, but this was a fun romp with an exciting protagonist, good writing, atmospheric setting, and an unpredictable story.

Biggest disappointment of the year. I just… didn’t believe their whole dynamic, especially with the fact that ONE OF THEM LEFT THE OTHER AT THE ALTAR THEN CONTINUES TO BE AN ASSHOLE. And we’re supposed to believe that the one left should feel guilty about… being kind of cold now and “not really seeing” her partner back then? Also the way I cringed every time she made the Black best friend say “baby girl” which was many, many times. Hopeful for the next AHB, but this one was not it.

3 stars for the vibes and making me feel feelings, regardless of what they were.

Love a slow burn romance. 

A love letter to Oakland and a hate letter to trashy dads/dudes, with a couple sweet ones mixed in. Every character in this felt very real. 

Unhinged in the best way. Also the friendship vibes were top notch. 

Such a fun, delightful surprise. I might be in love with Emily Wilde. 

So cute. The perfect little queer holiday romance. Audiobook narration 💯. Don’t think about it too much. Cute cute cute.
