24. "The Ride of Her Life" by Jennifer Dugan. Honestly, an absolute delight from start to finish...except for the fact that the solution to their problem was SO FREAKING OBVIOUS FROM THE BEGINNING. But enjoyable characters, nice, funny writing, and all of my favorite things. 3.75/5🌟. 6.5/10 🌶️.

23. "Interstellar MegaChef" by Lavanya Lakshminarayan. I really, really wanted to like this one, but it was a slog. I love queer romance/cooking competition books, but this was a miss for me personally, for whatever reason. Too much world-building; not enough living in said world. 2.75/5🌟. 1/10 🌶️.

22. "Say a Little Prayer" by Jenna Voris. Have you ever read a book that resonated with you so much that you're actually angry you didn't write it? Me too. YA book about being an outcast in a small, Jesus-y town with (plot twist) supportive parents. This was an emotional read for me. 4.5/5🌟. .5/10🌶️.

21. "Catch" by Kris Bryant. Love books about football but hate reading about a bunch of men? Pick this one up and know true joy. I initially worried about a potential cheating storyline because of the premise (rekindled first love but now one is married), but that wasn't the case. 4/5🌟. 6.5/10🌶️.

20. "On Her Terms" by Amy Spalding. The third in a trilogy, and one that I read willingly, not begrudgingly. Fake dating? Check. Spicy spice? Check. Curvy MC that doesn't look rail thin on the cover? Check. The rare book that shows the next step in a wlw romance isn't always a U-Haul. 4.5/5🌟. 7/10🌶️.

19. "Legends & Lattes" by Travis Baldree. A enjoyable gay romp. Found family, swords, coziness, and creatures of all kinds. Pretty queer and hella fun. Plus, it's really interesting to see people try coffee for the first time. 4/5🌟. 0.5/10🌶️.

18. "Most Wonderful" by Georgia Clark. Did I read a holiday book in April? Yes. Do I have any regrets? No. Three related romances involving three queer siblings with a famous aging actress of a mother. Delightful, hilarious, great characters, and well-written. I loved this one. 4.75/5🌟. 8.5/10🌶️.
