no bc frankie was kind of creepy...

it was exactly what i had expected it'd be: hot and gay™ but the unwanted drama got me rolling my eyes i have to admit, i could have done without (3.5)

*3,5 stars*A really cute and quick f/f romance.I felt like the final conflict between the two girls was a little dramatic, but apart from that I really enjoyed this!

Out on Good Behavior is the story of how a life-embracing, blue-haired art student with roses tattooed on her cleavage and piercings you can’t see in class falls, hard, for her best friend’s cute blonde roommate, a sweet girl who doesn’t drink and prefers books and gentle hangouts to clubbing.How does the party girl–and this is such a lovely, positive portrayal of a party girl who really enjoys herself as opposed to, like, secretly not actually having a good time–handle her attraction to the YA-...

OUT ON GOOD BEHAVIOR is one of the first NA (New Adult) books I’ve read (other than maybe RW&RB?). The novel follows Frankie, a free spirited, out, proud & sexually liberated pansexual who gets around campus enjoying herself until she meets Samara, the closeted lesbian daughter of a Southern Republican politician. Samara is ready to come out but needs it to be the real deal, so they decide to date in secret - chastely - for 30 days.This book was entertaining, cute and I read it in 2 sittings. If...

my first f/f NA book was a SUCCESSthis was a lot of fun. i'm reading and reviewing 8 f/f romances for my youtube channel and this was the perfect way to start! the f/f romance genre as a whole is criminally under marketed and under hyped and i was determined to give some attention to it and find some gems. this one definitely is a ruby.it follows our lovely pansexual main character frankie who is promiscuous (in the best way) falling for sweet closeted southern lesbian samara. i'm gonna try and

Happy Pride Month, My Lovelies! Buddy-reading will commence on June 27th. 2 I’m-just-not-sure Stars Expectations. Expectations can be the root of all that is evil in a book-lover’s world.I have always loved diversity. Even when, as a teenager, I lived in a small town that seemed to be obsessed with trying to stamp it out entirely. To say that I had pretty high expectations when I discovered that Frankie’s character was pansexual is an extreme understatement. You see, one of my best friends i...

I was caught between whether I should give this a one or a two, but because I spent most of it being annoyed, I decided to round down after thinking about it some more, I decided that one was an unfair rating, so I rounded up. Honestly, I don't know why I continue to bother picking up NA books. It's the same tropey mess over and over again. And yet, when I go long enough without reading one, I wonder was it really that bad??? Yes, it's reaffirmed again and again. Yes, it most definitely was. And...

Instagram || Twitter || Facebook || Amazon || PinterestWe read OUT ON GOOD BEHAVIOR as a nod to Pride Month in my romance book club/discussion group, Unapologetic Romance Readers. Dahlia Adler has made a name for herself advocating diversity and intersectionality in YA and NA, and I've been meaning to read her for a while, so kudos to sraxe for getting the ball rolling on that with her recommendation.OUT ON GOOD BEHAVIOR is a love story between a pansexual girl named Frankie Bellisario and a

It's Pride month, yay and I am so glad I read this!I usually don't review NAs but in my opinion, not talking about this book would be a disservice to all the genre-defying Dahlia A does in this novel.I believe, Dahlia Adler is one of those few writers today (Elliott Wake, Courtney Milan among others) who show the bird to the misogyny which has started to plague the NA genre.Also, f/f sex OH, MY FUCKING GOODNESS. *puts away her vibrator*So! I like how this book rises above slut shaming.I like how...

I thought this was going to be a breeze to read... and it was, just 'cause it's that bloody good. I felt the angst Frankie was going through, that confusion about changing her needs with Samara. They sounded like such a cute couple too, so there's that.Oh... the coolest thing of all has got to be Lizzie and Connor cooking up the Filipino dinner. My little Filipino heart/stomach was craving for a few of those dishes and then some. I actually text my mum requesting she makes this dessert dish I lo...

Is it me? My age? My specific experiences, my way of expressig my sexual orientation?Because I really didn't fall for this book, and I had been specifically asking for a f/f story....No, it's not me, it's the damn book.The conditions for a great read were all there: opposites attract, one truly pansexual character, one totally closeted still, bantering group of friends. Right. Wrong , so wrong. I think what really bothers me the most is that at the end of it all, the book left me with nothing. I...

Buddy read with the Unapologetic Romance Readers group.28/6 - This was my first f/f book, so I have no idea how it compares to other f/f books out there, but I thought this was pretty great. I felt the same reading this romance as I have with most previous romances - warm and squishy when love is finally admitted, frustrated when problems could be cleared up with a simple conversation and in need of a fan during the sex scenes. For my heart and brain it doesn't matter what bits go where or what

Trigger warnings: Slut shaming, LGBTQIA characters stressing over how their parents will react.3.5 stars. Let's do this as a pro/con list, because it seems easier on my poor brain at this point in time. PROS- Pansexual protagonist!- Adorable F/F romance! - Great female friendships! - Excellent background diversity! - It's a compelling story! CONS- A lot of the story is based on misunderstandings- It's not a particularly long book (less than 200 pages), and probably two thirds of it is build up t...

“It isn’t just the way she feels, or smells, or tastes; it’s the way she sighs into my mouth, like: finally. Like: you found me. Like: this is everything I dreamed it would be. 1☆ warning: english isn't my first language, so probably this is going to have a lot of mistakes, but whatever i need to talk about this.This is going to contain spoilers, but not about the plot, more about the representation this gives to lgbtqia people (pansexual and bisexual):1) First of all, this book se

That was sweet! This is my first book from the author and I think is also the 3rd and final book of the series. First is from Lizzie then Cait and finally Frankie. They're best friends. Actually, I'm tempted to read the first two just to read something about Frankie. Let's see about that soon.Goodness! I can't stop smiling throughout the book.I ship them hard! Frankie and Sam!!! I want to read more of them.Frankie is a party girl. She enjoys quick hook-ups, she plays around. That's the life she

3.5 starsThis was a cute read but I kinda wish it had dual POV. I feel like there was a lot of story left untold from Sam's POV, especially with everything going on with her family and that would've added to this story nicely, perhaps helped flesh out the story a bit more. Also, I've never read the first two books but I honestly wasn't a fan of Frankie's two best friends and have no interest in reading their books anymore which kinda sucks since I've had their books sitting on my kindle for fore...

Rep: pan mc, lesbian li, gay & bi side charactersextra star because frankie is hornyotherwise it's the way it's implied that frankie ids as pan because bisexuality is a transphobic identity and the way the lesbian character won't even use the word lesbian about herself for me!and just generally there's a faint undercurrent of lesbophobia throughout• the assumption that pan people are the only ones attracted to nonbinary folks (and, hey, that's biphobic too!)• just the phrase "gold star lesbian"

My expectations may have been too high... It’s a F/F romance with good girl/bad girl trope. While the book is easy to read and rather entertaining, I couldn’t get rid of the feeling that the inner struggle of the main heroine overweighted the amount of the actual romance. Also, the author gave our couple a useless 30 days tag and I lost any interest knowing that nothing exiting would happen before this deadline. And when something finally happened... it was laxly written. Some pluses: The main h...
