A light-hearted sapphic fall rom com that’ll make you want to cozy up in front of a log fire with mug of steaming cider! Jenny Lynton never planned to be an influencer. It just sort of…happened. When an unfortunate post results in Jenny being “almost canceled,” she extends her stay in her hometown, Sapphire Springs, New York, to wait out the storm. Jenny's agent suggests a fling with a flannel-wearing lumberjack might be just the thing to distract her. But after a string of disastrous dates, Jenny has sworn off flings. And lumberjacks are in short supply in Sapphire Springs. Lumberjanes, on the other hand... Blake Mitchell is Sapphire Spring’s only doctor. She’s also had a crush on Jenny since high school. A crush that makes her a socially awkward mess whenever she’s around Jenny. Blake moved back home to avoid being hurt by another relationship–there’s not exactly a lot of dating options for lesbians in Sapphire Springs–but Blake can’t stop thinking about Jenny now she’s back in town. When Jenny and Blake are forced to work together to save a friend’s bachelorette party, sparks fly. But with Jenny’s return to LA a ticking time-bomb, is it wise for them to explore their feelings for each other, or do they risk being hurt yet again?

    goddamn i LOVE sapphic gays. ❤️
    this book was so good!! wow!! i loved it so much!! i did a buddy read with a friend and slacked big time but it was fun to be reacting to the same things!!

    this was soooooo grumpy/sunshine, ugh. so fabulous. also like, dislike/rivals/enemies (or whatever) to lovers??? delicious. we as readers knew that Blake's indifference (or so Jenny thought) was because she liked Jenny so much and was so nervous around her and i just wanted to yell JUST KISS. KISS. KISSSSSSS. and i got my wish sooner rather than later!! 

    the farm date??? precious. that KISS? YES MA'AM. the HIKE?! need me a freak like that LOL
    AND I'M SO OBSESSED WHEN THEY'RE LIKE YEAH SURE WE'LL KEEP THIS CASUAL AND EMOTIONLESS AND JUST HAVE SEX IT'S FINE OH WHOOPS WE'VE BASICALLY UHAULED. IT'S THE BEST EVER.
    and such a teeny third act breakup! you had to squint to see it!!
    was so proud of Jenny for following her heart. these two are perfect. no notes.
