We aren’t just a moment.

I’m not sure I’ve ever loved a line in a book more. After finishing Baby Bank I was so excited to learn more about Yasmeen. Sarah once again crafted lovable characters that you just cant help but root for.

While I do wish some of the communication between characters had been better (a lot of things could have been avoided between them) I loved watching Yas work towards her dream either the help of her friends. As always, I can’t wait for the next one!

Thank you so much to Sarah Robinson and her team, as well as NetGalley for the opportunity to review an ARC of Les Be Honest.

The highly anticipated second standalone romantic comedy in the Queerly Devoted series by Sarah Robinson is a steamy story of lesbian romance and elder millennial drama.

I haven't read the author's first book in the series, but after reading this one, I am definitely adding it to my TBR. This was wonderful and witty and just a real delight to read. Highly recommended!

3.75⭐️ Thankyou netgalley and sarah for this ARC! This was a really good second edition in this series and I love that the found family concept from the first book carried through in Yas and her business idea as well as her relationships with her friends. I really enjoyed the complicated family issues between Tyler and her father too, something all too common in the queer community, but having Yas come to understand why she still tries with him felt really important to me. I would say I think the pacing of the book was a little quick, with both the relationship between Yas and Tyler as well as the business in itself, in the beginning of the book it felt a little rushed but by the end it balanced out really well.

Les Be Honest is an enjoyable romantic comedy which tells the story of Yasmeen, a determined woman who wants to open the first lesbian bar in her neighborhood, but not everyone is supportive of her idea. Tyler, a successful podcaster with a complicated family background, becomes involved in Yasmeen's venture. The book does a great job creating relatable characters with interesting backgrounds, which helps us understand them better. Both Yasmeen and Tyler are well-developed, and their interactions make the story more interesting. It's a fun and steamy lesbian romance with a mix of drama and humor. I'd recommend it if you enjoy stories about following your dreams and finding unexpected love along the way.

Thanks to the author and Netgalley for providing me with an e-arc to read and review prior to publication.
I was initially drawn in by the title and thoroughly enjoyed "Les Be Honest". I adore the idea of the story, bringing attention to the lack of queer/ lesbian bars and addressing the very real issue of it in a rom-com setting.
The first three chapters didn't entirely capture my attention, showing off too many facts straight away rather than letting them naturally surface in the story. However once familiar with the story I found the quite imperfect characters both relatable and compelling. Sarah Robinson managed to find a good balance between the business plot of setting up a bar, with many obstacles, and the romantic relationship. Both characters, as well as some side characters, had developed backstories that made them more palpable and grounded their perspectives and actions in their history. I also enjoyed the discussions surrounding family and coming out the respectful approach both were given (but also the quip about how publishers seem to only know coking out stories amused me). The ending came a bit of a surprise for me and could have been elaborated on, but that is a personal preference!
Overall I would recommend this to anyone looking for a cute rom-com with out and loud lesbian rep!

Thank you to Netgalley for the opportunity to read this E-arc for my honest review.
I was really excited to dive into this book after reading the first book in this series. Unfortunately this one fell flat for me. The plot was lacking and the book felt like I was reading a mini porn about two females continuously performing oral sex on one another. Yasmeen is superficial and rather mean in her descriptions/opinions of other people including her own girlfriend. Tyler is arrogant and self-absorbed. Way too much eye rolling 🙄
I enjoyed the short story at the end.

I really enjoyed reading this LGBTQIA+ book and seeing the relationship between Tyler and Yasmeen develop.
