I was pleasantly surprised by this one. I have not read too many romances with ace rep. The author gave a lot of care to educating on different identities along the aro/ace spectrum. There was one portion that felt a bit like an info dump, but with how little ace rep is included in traditionally published romances, I was glad to see it.
I did really love the relationship between Angela and Krystal. There was a good mix of external stakes and relationship conflict that wasn’t just based in miscommunication.
The extended “cast” was well rounded with family, friends and enemies. The intro of the book acknowledges that it is heavily based in TikTok and at the time of it going into print, the future of TikTok was unknown (and still could be).
Disclosure: I received a print copy from the publisher and an ALC from Libro.fm. I read the audio for about 70% of the book and then switched to print.
