My thoughts

3.5/5stars When you spend your whole life alone, it's incredibly appealing to move somewhere big enough to get lost in. Where being alone looks like a choice. I wish I could have liked this as much as everyone else did. But like, no? It wasn't in any way a bad book but did anything about it stand out to me? No. Did I at times while reading this feel bored? and also questioning my knowledge of science? yes. like I am all for fiction and fantasy but in a romance novel if you make me question basic science IDK what to do? Yes the sapphic romance was very heart-warming and gushing and I might have been this close to crying but the other 70% of the book was just meh. I don't think I can overlook that "boring" part for the few pages of w|w relationship paras. Again, I think I am in the minority here but like, it is what it is. I don't think I will be picking up anything more by this author now. But I do see how this might work for someone else. If you are someone who can overlook the whole illogical part of it and focus only on the bits of sapphic romance, maybe it might work for you. The older she’s gotten, the more she prefers thinking of love as a hobby for other people, like rock climbing or knitting. Fine, enviable even, but she doesn’t feel like investing in the equipment.
