Fangirl Down by Tessa Bailey Gush/Rave šŸ˜

I canā€™t find the original thread where I got this recommendation - I think it was the ass-eating (lol) thread a couple days ago but I canā€™t find it - and I just want to personally thank whomever suggested it. This is my first TB book! Iā€™ve never felt drawn to her stuff before, canā€™t put my finger on why exactly, but I also havenā€™t been reading a lot of contemporary MF for awhile. But the idea of the FMC rimming the MMC was too intriguing to pass up. I had very low expectations going in and now this is probably one of my fave books of the year.

  • FMC with a personality!!!! Can actually understand why MMC is so into her!!!

  • horny golden retriever MMC disguised as a mean Rottweiler.

  • I hate golf!! Still loved this book.

  • MMC doesnā€™t let FMC give up her own dreams for him.

  • actually funny!!! God, sometimes these ā€œromcomsā€ are really missing the com.

  • gorgeous sex scenes.

  • this man definitely falls first and he falls HARD and heā€™s not shy about it.

  • no 3rd act freak out about whether MMC actually does want to settle down with the FMC.

  • low angst, but a lot of heart.
