4.5 ⭐️

Friends to lovers. Hidden crush. Tug-a-war emotions. Lighthearted. Lovable characters. Good spice. Cute read!

“She smiled and I knew this was it for me. This was everything I had ever wanted.”

If you are looking for a fast paced sapphic novella to read then this may be your next read.

This was a cute, “I like my friend & idk if she likes me so I don’t want to ruin it… but, if I had the chance I’d go for it.” but, make them best friends.

If Karmen Lee is writing it then, I’m reading it.
