No Boy Summer (by Amy Spalding)

I was so into this at first - a smart, confident plus-size heroine in a sapphic romance, sounds perfect - but was a bit less enamored by the end. (There is a lot of laughing. The characters laugh on every page. I got a little tired of the laughing.)

The exploration of friendship and sisterhood (and not just romantic love) really worked for me, although the sisters' conflict seemed a bit manufactured. But the love for Los Angeles was a bonus too, since that's where I'm from! The details of the coffee shop job and loving the Dodgers and the long drive to the beach gave me major nostalgia.

Hmm maybe I liked it more than I thought.
