The Sapphic Inquisition

De: Ashley Halladay

Narrado por: Chelsea Stephens

Problems just keep piling up for Nicolette ‘Nic’ Saracini. The biggest? Her best friend Will is getting married, which is fine except it means the end of an era. Since childhood the two have been inseparable, sharing the same tastes in music, movies, and, most importantly, women.

The two have been wingmanning each other for the better part of a decade. From highschool prom, to frat parties in college, to smoky dive bars in adulthood, the two have been helping each other score for as long either of them can remember. But weddings have always been their favorite hunting ground.

Now, on the precipice of what they have dubbed The Summer of Weddings, Nic is without a wedding date, and more important, a wingman.

Enter Will’s younger sister Skylar, a beautiful and brilliant surgeon, who offers to fill in for Will at the six weddings that stretch across the summer. It’s not a bad idea, as far as things go, but Nic soon realizes that there are a couple major issues.

To start, Skylar is a hopeless and helpless flirt. This ostensibly straight girl can’t help but tease and touch and make inappropriate innuendos that drive Nic wild.

Which would be bad enough, but when Nic’s dreaded ex Ally starts sniffing around, wanting Nic back, the two hatch a fake dating scheme to keep Ally off her back.

The lines between what’s real and what’s not quickly blur as Ally’s attempt to expose their fake relationship finds the girls off balanced and unprepared.

After all, no one ever expects the Sapphic Inquisition.

Steamy Rom-Com. That’s is hard to accomplish. Usually is one of the other but this? A work of art.

The filthy things that happen in this book had me fanning myself and the comedy had me crying. What an interesting combination of feelings that was. Again. Work of absolute art.

Good Story with Humor

Nic and Skylar have attraction, but Skylar is straight, or is she? They get along great and Nic the slut is falling for the straight girl. Nic's ex did a number on her and that is why she doesn't do relationships. Although her views on that might be changing.

Skylar is the straight girl who agreed to be Nic's wing woman for weddings. Skylar is also a major flirt.

As for mature content there is only some towards the end, and that I give a 🌶️🌶️🔥

Why is no one talking about this book?!!

Did you ever have a book grab you so quickly that you immediately check how much time is left because you already don’t want it to end? This is one of those books. I was solidly hooked before the end of the first chapter. It is laugh out loud funny and spicy. As a NEPA girl I loved the Philly and Jersey Shore references.
I highly recommend the audiobook version as Chelsea Stephens really smashed it.

Hooked right away

It took me a few minutes to figure out who was who but I was intrigued and never thought twice about it. I was pulled in right away. Great writing and very relatable. I will read more by this author.
