this book was hilarious, cute, and absolutely refreshing. I’m trying to read more books either written by LGBTQ+ authors and/or featuring characters who identify as such, and this is a great one to include in your reading plans. 

Starting with the characters, Delilah was my favorite! I loved how she was an anti-hero of sorts and wasn’t ‘adulting’ in a conventional way. She definitely reminded me of Kat Dennings in Two Broke Girls or a third BFF of Ilana and Abbi in Broad City - I love when female characters follow that archetype because yes, give us some diversity! Not everyone is 100% put together or has life figured all the way out. As for Claire, I thought she was likeable enough, but she was definitely intense and deserved a much-needed Spa weekend or something 😭

Regarding the plot/romance, I thought it was a solid, fun, standard RomCom! The hijinks that the characters got up to were funny and the banter actually made me laugh out loud which I always appreciate. I did think the insta-love between Delilah and Claire was a bit jarring given the fact that they haven’t seen or spoken to each other in literal years, but even the avid Romance reader has to keep reminding theirself to suspend disbelief!

Final Thoughts: Overall I 100% recommend! This is a TRUE RomCom and I’m glad that some of the girlies are giving us those because we are starving for some! I also loved the fact that everyone was accepting of Delilah and Claire’s sexual orientation and that they didn’t have to go through any traumatic situations to help drive the plot because of that. Though the characters/writing could be a bit immature and YA-esque at times, I still think that this was an adorable read! I definitely plan on reading more by Herring Blake in the future.
