Slow pace, cheesy plot with barely any development and a very annoying narrator. Also, sex portrayed as a cure for depression? Really?

Complex and realistic characters make this lesbian romance a very erotic yet thoughtful read.

I liked the dark tone of the book and the family dynamics involved. There were a couple of things that did bother me though. I thought the sex scenes would be much better served in a work of erotica, not in a book about emotional healing. It just didn't lend itself to the loving connection that the characters had going on. At least not to me. The other thing that pulled me out of the story a bit was the non-American words and phrases that these born and raised Americans used.

honestly for me this was just okay, but i couldn't give it only two stars. it's a solid romance novel, it just didn't grab me like i felt it should have; particularly i felt like i knew next to nothing about the main character. but points for an interracial romance between two women in their 40s!

More like a 4.5/5 but I did love it so i'm upmarking. ;) HIGHLY RECOMMENDED
I thouroughly enjoyed this book. The characters were enjoyable. The issues were generally well handled and the romance was loveable. This book nearly had me in tears at one point so bravo! :)
Their were only two things I think that personally lost it half a star and one of them is that the book could have been longer and explored a little more between the end and the epilogue. The other is that the 'reveal' as to what had happened in her life came too late for a first person perspective (however it seemed quite apparent to me before it arrived so it didnt feel like a reveal when it finally came just an end to the akward avoidance). Otherwise a stellar work and I will likely read it again.
I powered through this and I would recommend it highly. I am off to read the sequel novella as I am not quite ready to let these two girls go just yet. Thankyou Harper for a fantastic read!

This is an emotionally charged story. I have been in a dark place a time or two and I could relate to Ella. Having to face her family after what she did was brave and necessary. Kay was amazing and strong the perfect person to talk to. She called Ella out on her bullshit. You can’t read this and not feel a boat load of emotions. This story was beautifully written with care and love.
