Cute, but there are lots of typos and issues with grammar. Good book for a lazy day reading.

Stopped at chapter 3
To put it simply, I don't like the main character. I understand she got broken up with recently but she shouldn't be so mad at her friends for being in love..

A very sweet short that I definitely wouldn't mind to see expanded to a novella/novel. Loved it

2 stars. The writing was good and I would check out something else from this author but this was so boring. I also didn't like any of the characters and found them all to be unlikable and whiny. This was a quick read but nothing great.

⭐ Holiday romance (spring break)

🌶️ Fade to black (apart from one snippet at the end)

🌈 Sapphic MCs

This was okay, I guess. Super unlikeable MC right from the start sort of put me on a downward from the beginning. And I'm not talking unlikeable as in "prickly", because I love prickly heroines, she was just plain unlikeable. Resentful of any happiness anyone has around her and making zero effort to get, I just got bad vibes from her. 

The characters themselves, apart from possibly the love interest, fell pretty flat. In a novella there's not much room to work with so character work can be difficult to squeeze in, so I can give some grace there. 

If you're looking for something short, sweet, and instalovey then this might be what you're looking for.
