 I was worried about the low ratings for this one, but I listened on audio and mostly enjoyed it. In fact I was really enjoying this until about 3/4 of the way in. I looooved Valeria, I thought she was fun and sweet. Luna had her moments but the way that she just could not understand the concept of what gay sex is, and kept undermining experiences in a toxic way. I'm sure the author did that intentionally because it's a very real thing, but it got really frustrating after a while. Romy was also sweet but again, I didn't love how she approached her feelings. And then I felt like them getting together was so rushed at the end I didn't get enough time to route for them as a couple. I was still wanting Luna and Velaria and wasn't ready as a reader to jump into Luna and Romy.

Overall it was a cute book but had a few issues that needed to be ironed out. I will definitely read any future books this author releases
