This book got to me in a way I probably should have seen coming but didn't. I actually found it because of the cover artist and thought "oh hey, sapphic novel that takes place around the holidays? Yes please!" The fact that one of the FMCs in question starts out as the girlfriend of the guy who shares the apartment with the other one and that's how they meet also seemed intriguing. Jamie is our beloved stereotypical chaos bi, with the added intensity of having ADHD and Dyslexia and being a theater person. She likes Beth immediately and tries to befriend her. Beth eventually finds herself drawn to Jamie too but is convinced she's straight, even though she's never felt satisfied or into it in any relationship she's ever had with a dude, including Derrick a little bit. She grew up in a conservative religious household and Jamie reminds her of her best friend from growing up, the last person she felt this kind of connection with. The book isn't super spicy, sex is more of a fade to black moment up until the time they ladies finally get together. Which is my main problem with the story: there is cheating involved. I can understand getting caught up in things, especially if you're going through the motions with your partner and then suddenly have all these feelings and attraction, and I'm sure it does happen when people are figuring out their sexuality. But I don't like it and that made the story not as good in the end, in my opinion. I did think the way the author wrote Beth, in denial, thinking she's jealous of Jamie (no, you want her), having grown up feeling like it isn't an option, you couldn't be, and then figuring it out much later. I just wish the cheating wasn't part of it, and for that reason I prob wouldn't seek out another book by this author.
