This was a sweet story! The romance had such a slow build, glacial at times, but it made the ending worth it. There's a lot of moments where if they had just talked to each other, they may have gotten together quicker, but the tension & soft moments between Jo & Emma would have been missed. I loved the relationships they had with their friends & family that supported them, and helped them realise that just maybe the other person returned their feelings. This was a book that I have been meaning to read for a while, and it's great to see an increased amount of diversity in romance books. I enjoyed this & can't wait to see what Meryl Wilsner writes next.
