Publisher Description
Sky's crush on her best friend has always been unrequited… until they're stuck in quarantine together and sparks fly.
Sky's high school bestie is moving back to the area and staying with her for a few weeks. Easy, right? Not when she'd held a torch for the woman since high school. The moment Mia walks through Sky's door, those unrequited feelings return full-force. So, when a spreading virus keeps them confined in Sky's apartment even longer, Sky is screwed.
Mia returns home after a bad breakup, but Sky is the only one who offers a safe place to land. However, the seven years they spent apart has her looking at her best friend through a different lens, attraction sparking with every inside joke, shared dinner, and cuddle on the couch.
That flare of desire fast turns physical. They can't get enough of each other. Yet, whenever Mia tries for the "where is this going" talk, Sky dodges. Sky lost her sister in high school, and ever since, she's become ace at keeping dates at a distance. Yet if she doesn't manage to push past her own fears, she might lose her one shot at happiness with the woman she's waited a lifetime for.

Cute second chance love story
This book was beautiful. The second chance story of two women who were best friends but grew apart only to find themselves thrown back together by life’s circumstances. The author skillfully wove a tale of perfect love with imperfect people. Sky, stilted by trauma, has loved Mia since they were in high school but is afraid to totally give herself to a relationship. Mia, on the other hand, is desperate to have a lasting connection with another person after years of being raised by a closed off mother and rejected by a runaway father. Dumped by her boyfriend for being “needy” she is reluctant to push Sky to far too fast fearing that could ruin their friendship. It all comes to a head when they are forced to live in Sky’s apartment for two months, because of the quarantine. Sky is unemployed, because she works as a chef and her restaurant is closed and Mia works from home (well Sky’s home). During their time in lockdown, they tiptoe around their mutual attraction. They steal furtive glances and manufacture reasons to touch until they can’t take it anymore. Fueled by sweet terms of endearment, and Jack Daniels, they succumb to their desires and begin a firestorm neither of them is sure they will survive.
I enjoyed taking the journey with these lovely women.

The story was not very engaging and the characters were flat. I also didn’t understand why the virus wasn’t just called covid... seems strange.
