The reviewers at Goodreads seem much more critical of f/f than of other genres I read, so I'm not going to add to that by giving this a low star rating, because this is not a bad story. In terms of my enjoyment, though, I would give it between 2 and 3 stars.
The MC, Amanda, is an aspiring actress who escapes from a terrible blind date with a woman who seems like she should be just her type (feminine). She then meets a kind and patient butch woman, Michelle, who doesn't fit any of the negative stereotypes Amanda has about butch women. Amanda has never been attracted to a butch woman before, and she spends most of the story waffling about whether she's attracted to Michelle or not.
I know that the author was not knocking butches - just the opposite, since Michelle seems completely perfect - but I really can't relate to the concept of a potential partner's gender presentation (or gender, tbh) being such a major concern. So, the story's central conflict, between Amanda and herself, did not work for me at all. But I'm sure many other readers would enjoy it.
