Unfamiliar is an absolutely adorable Halloween read. It has a vibrant and loveable cast of characters. Despite the story being relatively short, I found the development of the characters and their friendships believable. Having been a fan of the author's work before I went into this book knowing her talent for creating cute and well-designed characters, and of course I was completely sucked into the atmosphere and setting from the very first page. I'll be eagerly awaiting volume 2.

There’s something unbelievably frustrating about going into a book expecting it to be a five star read and it ending as a one star. I thought I would be perfect. I mean enemies to lovers sapphic romance sounds cute, funny and delightful but unfortunately I was just annoyed the whole time. Their romance is anything but believable. Elle is so self-centred and easily upset. She eavesdrops and gets mad when her girlfriend of one month (fake dating) or weeks? (real dating) didn’t exclaim their love to her mom. Like, Elle chill out and let her explain (not that she even owes you an explanation, you were eavesdropping). 

Concluding Thoughts: Elle sucks, didn’t really like Darcy and guess I’ll have to look elsewhere for the perfect sapphic romance
