It’s really great setting challenges like this and branching out and reading things that you wouldn’t necessarily prioritise, but I also wanted to do this as a general rule, regardless of month, as I think it’s so incredibly important for LGBT+ stories to be given more attention. The aim of the game, basically, was to help myself branch out a little and read more WLW reads, both for the theme of the month, and as a way to contribute to some of my reading resolutions that I set for the year! I managed to get through three LGBT+ books, bringing my WLW reads this year up to four out of nine so far. Hey everyone!

Otherwise good performances and I appreciate them really going for it despite what they had to work with. as for the audiobook performance, i had to turn the playback speed up because they both read very slowly. As a strong proponent of an enemies/friends/lovers and back again type trope, this ain't it. Their relationship doesn't feel based on much more than that, and she has little agency within it.
