Anita’s first review of the year

it was amazing
Not only was this super fun & funny, it was so romantic & swoony, & was the first T4T romance I have personally read (& while I know there are a bunch in the indie realm, I’m curious if it’s the first in trad pub?) & that was more impactful than I had even imagined it would be. Still gathering my thoughts, but I loved Luna & Jean-Pierre so much & am super grateful this book exists.
