This book gets stars for a morally grey but still really likeable FMC; very rarely get a more masc MC in a lesbian romance (also she’s over 30!) so loved that change. Representation all around is really great; feel like I learned a lot about both Canadian and Jamaican culture. Liked the spice, loved the espresso bar tension; my only complaint was that the younger love interest didn’t seem to experience enough character growth. I related to her enough to still like her, but I’m worried for the MC!

I received this digital copy from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.
