I had the absolute best time reading this book and I can't wait to devour
Edi and Winifred have insane chemistry from the beginning, and the friction between them was everything that it needed to be for this book to be so damn satisfying.
I was so engrossed I couldn't stop reading it. I loved all the characters, the writing, the storytelling, the setting... Its all so perfect.
The pacing is also well done, I went through this book so fast, I couldn’t wait to see how this story ended.

HQ Digital,
Thank You for your generosity and gifting me a copy of this amazing eARC!
I will post my review closer to pub date.

Who doesn't need to read a book about a character finding herself with the help of 5 audaciously helpful friends, loving parents, and a woman that returns her zest for life? The main is a mess of contradictions- she's like a fractured mirror of all the parts of her fiancé she never wanted to be and it takes the book for her to build the courage to be a better reflection of herself. It's a wonderful journey where you are gonna laugh and most definitely cringe and swoon and laugh some more. It's a quick read and you'll enjoy the group chats, lady nights, impromptu weekend always, and the journey from straight to gay-ish! Haha!

Flirty and fun!

Thanks to Netgalley and the publishers for the chance to read a digital arc in exchange for my feedback.

I was suprised by this book in a really good way, I was expecting the classic romantic comedy and although it was that it was also way more than that it was raw, relatable, uplifting, lighthearted and heartwarming. I couldnt out it down and I loved it.

At its core this is a coming of age story centring around Edi Parcell who is going through somewhat of a quarter life crisis. This is definitely not a formulaic romance fiction so if you're looking for the usual tropes we've come to know and love then you need to look elsewhere.

Edi basically has an absolute turd of a partner but this is balanced out by the best thing about this book... the amazing female love and support - more of this please!

I love the heart of this story which is essentially about acceptance, allowing people to be themselves, giving them room to grow and making no apologies about who they are. This is way more at the forefront than the romance element.

Essentially this is not what I expected but I loved it. I gave it a very rare 5/5 for romance fiction but I loved the sentiment so much and couldn't put it down once I started reading it.

I really enjoyed this but I wouldn’t class it as primarily a romance - it’s more of a mid-twenties coming of age novel (is that a thing?) where the protagonist has immense character growth, a delightful band of close friends and is engaged to the most infuriating man in literary canon. It’s a lot less about the queer relationship than I wanted going in and I think the blurb and cover imply. So maybe a five stars if it had been pitched to me as a different novel, but four because I personally wanted more of a focus on a romance between the two female characters. I did really like all the characters save Rowan and I thought it was well plotted and paced.
