Welcome to Litsy!

I have no idea when or how this ended up on my Kindle but I wish it hadn‘t. I‘ve read fan fiction that was better written. The characters are basically immature cartoons that act the same at nearly 40 as they did at 18. And there is no subtlety or nuance whatsoever. And yes, I know there are small towns throughout the U.S. where some citizens are virulently homophobic and racist but this was so over the top. 🙄 👇🏼

This is the second LGBTQ book that I have read. As its always been a genre that I‘ve stayed away from. Which I have to say has deprived me of reading some really good books. This books shows you just how peoples prejudices can have such an impact on peoples lives, how they may change who they really are just to be accepted especially in small communities. But having to living the lie isn‘t good for anyone involved.
My Rating: 5 ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

4 stars.

The story of Nora and Sophie‘s passionate second-chance journey to their happy-ever-after despite small town prejudices and past hurts lends itself highly adaptable to film. All the elements are there: fully fleshed-out characters, complicated relationships, well-described small town setting, timely subjects, and involving storytelling.

Complete review is on my blog Carpe Diem Chronicles.

I don't read much Sapphic and I've been actively trying to read more, so winning this second chance Sapphic romance seemed to be stars aligning.
But, I didn't like it. There were some aspects I found interesting, but there was SO much cheating in here that I wasn't too keen on and I just did not like Sophie. (cont.)
