About this listen

Math whiz Gemma Rowe has found the one problem her math can't solve: She's fallen for her female and very heterosexual best friend.

Gemma Rowe is a shy math nerd from Sydney who, despite having an affinity for probability and logic, only just worked out at 28 that she's not actually straight. Not only is she not straight, but she's developed feelings for her best friend, Sarah.

Sarah and Gemma go way back - since they met at university, they've been completely inseparable. They've traveled together, landed jobs at the same company, and shared each other's triumphs and sorrows. There was even that one memorable night when Sarah, completely drunk, told Gemma she couldn't live without her. To Gemma, romance seems like the natural progression.

There's just one teensy little problem with this whole equation: Sarah is straight.

Gemma knows the logical thing to do is to get over Sarah. She wants to be in her own happy relationship and not caught up on her straight best friend. But how is she supposed to get over Sarah when, despite all those advanced problem-solving skills, she can't even figure out who she's attracted to anymore?

Contains mature themes.

Like a few other reviewers the Aussie accent was a little strange at the start but I quickly became used to it. I did laugh out loud quite a few times, a lot more than most books which was great.
However the main character was very frustrating at times, I know that was the whole angle but jfc, please “man up” occasionally!

Laugh out loud, with an occasional eye roll

At first I did find this book difficult to get into because even though I am Australian myself I am not used to hearing an Australian accent in the audiobooks I listen to and Cat Gould has a very ocker Australian accent. However once I gave the novel the chance I found the characters were all really likeable and the story itself is really entertaining. It’s a very enjoyable tale and I very much recommend this book. 🐨

Absolutely loved this book! I could have throttled the MCs but at the same time loved how their characters developed as the narrative progressed. I had so many LOL moments; socially awkward nerd falls in love with her straight best friend. What could go wrong? Everything! And a cameo appearance by the iciest of ice queens who deserves her own series! Oh my! Take a bow, Cat Gould!

So many guffaw and head slap moments!

Feel-good, funny and full of heart-warming friendships, this is an immensely enjoyable coming out story with a satisfying and romantic ending. Expect to laugh out loud and fall in love with the diverse cast of characters as they struggle through some hilarious situations.

Hilarious and heart warming
