The Secret of You and Me by Melissa Lenhardt

4.0

I really enjoyed this book! Over the past year I've been reading more and more romance books, which for a fantasy lover is really unlike me, and I can definitely say this is one of the best I've read! The characters were so real and so gritty and I was so invested in them and all their relationships. I absolutely loved Sophie and her self-discovery, both coming to terms as being a lesbian and dealing with her alcoholism. Nora was so completely herself throughout the whole novel and I loved how confident she was (and that fact that she's a translator made me so excited!!). I also really loved the atmosphere of this book - Melissa Lenhardt has captured small town vibes perfectly!! Of course, my favourite part of this was the romance - I loved the yearning and the desire between Sophie and Nora, I wanted them so badly to be together! I can't recommend this book enough and I can't wait to purchase myself a copy!
