There were elements of this story that worked really well with my tastes…and some that didn’t. Overall, it was a well-written book and I would recommend it to readers who enjoy slow burn romance (this was one of the slowest I’ve ever read).

I took issue with the way the topic of bisexuality and later-in-life sapphic attraction was addressed. It didn’t feel outrageously offensive or anything, but considering it was published in the early ‘00s, there should have been room for less of a black and white take on these issues.
