- I am so beyond sad that I finished this book so fast. I don’t ever want to be done w Bennett & Lilly’s story. I wish there was a sequel. This book was SO well written, and I’ve become so attached to their story. The love, heartbreak, romance, sadness, and even the sex -it was just all done so well. My heart literally ached during the sad times, and flew during the happy ones. The writer was brilliant about going back and forth between the past and present throughout the whole story -it kept my heart tugging at the romance and heartbreak at every turn of the chapter. When I hit the halfway point of the book, I thought about slowing down, knowing that once the story was done, I’d be so sad. I was right.
- Also, none of this would have been loved as much as it was without the talent and skill of the narrator. She did such a great job highlighting every emotion, every thought, and every uniqueness in each character.

Cute story but the romance escalated too fast in the beginning.

It was a cute story and I’m a BIG fan of the depth behind the supporting characters but the romance escalated a bit too quickly in the beginning. The whole story was instantly predictable in the first chapter. Also, I know this is my own personal opinion but I’m not a fan of how the narrator made Julia seem super nonchalant and too-cool-for-school the whole time. There was no sweetness in her tone when she was intimate w Savannah. The rest of the character voices and tones were great. Regardless, I’m always and forever thankful that Georgia Beers keeps putting out great books for the lesbian community.

Overall a great story, and the narrator did such an amazing job with all the accents and differentiating between characters. Between the perfect writing/depiction of Filipino traditions and nuances, and the narrator’s ability to keep everything so accurate and fresh, I felt like I was in my own home, listening to my own family gossip, lol! The story was so well written, and the foods and drinks made my mouth water. I did find parts in the story that I wanted to skip over since it was a touch lackluster, but opted to listen to it in full- and I’m glad I did. The ending was a big surprise, def left my mouth open in shock! But I wish the ending gave a bit more detail about Lila’s family (that I became emotionally attached to throughout the book), detailing how they reacted (all the ninangs, etc). And, I wish the ending provided a bit more detail on the romance potentials. Regardless, I’m glad I listened to this book. And I LOVE that the writer is a queer, Filipino, POC- it feels so reassuring and motivating to have representation!

Though entirely predictable, the story was very well written and had me hooked from beginning to end. the only thing I didn't like about it was the slow pace of the narrator. apart from that, it was absolutely worthwhile!

Loved every second of this mystery and romance. It definitely kept us speculating the entire time -the ending was worth every bit of it.
