1 rating short of 100! If you've read our queer romcom LESSONS IN TIMING and feel any kind of way about it (hopefully warm and fuzzy!), please consider dropping a rating and maybe a review, debut authors rely on word of mouth! 🤩

If I had a nickel for every time a celebrity named Taylor had me rethinking my asexuality I would have two nickels
