June is Pride Month! Love is in the air, and we should celebrate it. My family celebrates pride 365 days a year, so during June I read romances that celebrate diverse love. In the past, we've read books that celebrate men finding their forever matches, but this year, we deliberately chose a lesbian romance.
Read Between the Lines by Rachel Lacey immediately captured our attention when it began like the movie, You've Got Mail. Rosie Taft is a successful bookstore owner. She has an online crush with Brie, a secretive and secluded author, and she loves their texts on X (formerly Twitter).

Jane Breslin, works for her family's real estate company. She sends Rosie a letter informing her that the bookstore's lease is up December 31 and will not be renewed.

Complications further arise when they meet and are instantly attracted to one another. Add in that Jane is actually Brie, and you've got a wild ride of a story.

Overall, I enjoyed the plot which was twisty enough to keep me entertained. I routed for Rosie and Jane as they muddled through their conflicts. Lacey's writing flowed easily, and I loved Read Between the Lines from page one to the end.
