In a posh 50s English accent Oh my goodness. This book truly was a joy to read. The absolute chemistry between ms Charlotte and Millie is to die for. A splendid time that felt too short. The two both yearn in their own way, and the time they spend together warmed my heart. This book has put me in quite a bad way needing more.

If you're into slow paced romance books with lots of inner monologue, you might like this, but I still wouldn't recommend it.
The first half of the book was sweet, even though I already had so many issues with it. The first one being that it was just boring and underwhelming. Every scene or every promise the text made was just not fulfilled. There could've been so much more happening. Instead they just talked and sold popcorn. Which I guess is fine, but yeah boring. The second issue is that I didn't know what to love about the characters. Like I very much knew their flaws, but that's the only thing I got out of the book. Expect that they were supposed to be hot and attractive... Don't know why though. That's honestly the same with everything else. I was just supposed to believe that they have chemistry and like each other, but I didn't know why they would.
The storyline about saving the business was actually pretty interesting (without knowing anything about that), but it did unfortunately fizzle out.
And in the second half, I got annoyed at one of the MCs because she was rather self-centred. And then their communication was horrendous. (And I don't usually mind miscommunications because I understand that sometimes people have reasons to not be able to talk about their feelings, but if I see someone struggling to talk I give them fucking time.)
I guess I should've written this after getting over my annoyance 🥲 Well, sorry for that. I liked the dialogues at least.
🎧 2/5: The audiobook was narrated by Lori Prince. While I usually like her narration, this definitely missed the mark for me. Both characters had a very high and squeaky voice and the intonation was a little weird. It made it seem like things were important or dramatic when they weren't.

I try so hard to add something to the conversation, to pepper in one of my talking points, but each time I've worked up the perfect thing, they've already moved on to another topic entirely. Poor Molly... That's how I used to feel when I was younger. But it does get better!

third person present tense is NOT working for me in this book….. i am personally a third person past tense truther 🤓 but first person present tense in romance novels seems pretty common??? also weird bc they are doing dual pov so why not just make it first person? idk…….

I think the reason I'm enjoying this one more than delilah green (which was, uhm, not my cup of tea) is because Astrid is exactly my type?? Popular, secretly vulnerable, rich girl with mommy issues who ends up liking women. Why is it that I'm always so invested in exactly those type of characters??? I feel so dull, lol!!!
