2.5 stars - there was nothing majorly wrong with this story, I just found it extremely boring. It’s the slowest of a slow burn which I don’t usually mind, but I really didn’t think the pay off was worth it at the end. Neither lead was very compelling to me, and while I struggled to finish it, I did.

This book disappointed me a bit... Everything felt like it didn't really have a good reason.... Kind of a cliche. I was expecting better for my first lesbian romance

Slow burn romance with Carmen ordering her own toaster oven which was a refreshing change and a nice update to one of the first WLW romance tropes. Ash and Carmen are beautiful, have interesting careers and are mature enough to recognize their attraction. They also carry baggage which must be acknowledged and handled. Characters from Write Your Own Script make an appearance but this can easily be read as a standalone novel. It's a sweet romance that drags a bit while the women work out their differences. I'm not a big fan of celebrity romances so that also impacted my reading pleasure.
