My gay heart 🥹💗 The age gap thing does kinda creep me out, especially since there is a former mentor relationship there. If you can get over that, this is such a cute romance!

Learning Curves - Rachel Lacey

Wow. Just, wow. THIS BOOK WAS SO HOT, SO ROMANTIC, SO SEXY, JUST WOW. As you can tell, I have strong feelings for this book. As a bisexual woman, I loved seeing a bisexual woman represented in a sapphic relationship - as it’s not super common in LGBTQ+ literature.

Bisexual woman who happens to be an artist, and an art historian? Check. Older lesbian art historian who was her professor 10 years earlier? Check. Absolute smoke show of a romance that’s built up via gradual friendship? Fucking check. I just loved all of this bloody book, the writing is excellent, the relationship between the main characters is excellent, THE SMUT IS EXCELLENT! Also, really appreciated all the mention of various tea blends, as a Brit, I am naturally obsessed with tea and I loved seeing that on paper!

This is yet another book I stayed up until 2am to finish, yes, my sodding sleep schedule has gone out of the window lately. It was just so bloody perfect, it’s queer, it’s quirky, it’s charming, and it gave me all of the fuzzy feelings.

And the ending? OH, MY HEART. Just; wow, I loved it, I fucking love a sapphic romance and this one was absolutely fantastic, blew me away. I thoroughly recommend reading it the minute it’s out! Its publishing date is September the 2nd 2025, and it’s the perfect autumnal sapphic read! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

I throughly enjoyed this book and would love to read more from this author. Thanks to Netgalley and the publisher for this ARC
