If it wasn’t for book club, I wouldn’t have finished this.

First, I’m very happy queer stories are being told, and I’m very happy queer authors are writing them.

Maybe I just don’t like romance? But the cliche miscommunication tropes, cringy metaphors, falling for someone who you barely know even though you’re super heartbroken…? Ok that last one was super specific but it all doesn’t spark joy for me. It sparks yawns and makes the spicy scenes just kinda awkward to read. And the romantic metaphors about food do not help lol 😂

It’s not by any means a bad romance!! Heck, it’s pretty decent, especially if you don’t mind the cliches listed above. Just maybe not my style.
