This book was super cute and enjoyable. It was fun to watch Evan and Clara realize their feelings for one another and grow closer. They were super cute and were obviously very fond of each other.
I do think that this book had some pacing issues though. I wanted more time with Clara experimenting or grappling with her sexuality. She pretty much realized she might be bi and then only a few hours later she was in bed with Evan. It seemed really fast. Most people don't come to fully accept their sexuality nearly that quickly and I would have like a little more back and forth from her.
I also thought their relationship developed really quickly too. I know queer women's relationships are famous for the U-Haul joke, but this was incredibly fast. They were telling each other they were in love with the other after like a week and had already basically moved in together by that point too. It was just way too fast. At that rate, I'm surprised they waited until their one year to get engaged.
But then there were things that were almost too slow. Like Christmas with Clara's family seemed like it took up too much time and seemed oddly placed in the book. I liked how that helped Evan deal with her past trauma, but it seemed to almost be a completely separate book from the one I was reading before that. This probably could have been two separate novellas if they had been paced properly.
Anyway, it was a super cute book and I did enjoy it overall, but the pacing and disjointed plot points just made it fall flat.
