I am really split about this.

After Sunset by Lise Gold

My rating: 4 of 5 stars


Warning, this reiew has some weird references to the German editions of Pippi Longstocking.

They say: "don't judge a book by it's cover;" and it's true, because if I had, I would not have read this wonderful book. I have four paperbacks of Lise Gold in my top favourites bookshelf and all four covers are absolutely perfect. This one, though, even if the writing is incredible, AGAIN!, is not getting there, because the cover, I am sorry to say, is CRAP! Why for heaven's sake is evryone going for these at best mediocre graphics for covers? I am absolutely horrified!

Sorry, but back to the book itself ... It is the best second chance romance I have read so far, lt's too realistic, believable and -for me - very close to home. I am a transwoman and as a teen I fell in love with a lesbian girl, but I was so deep in the closet, that I could have met Chief Rabenaas in Taka Tuka Land!

What I'd give, to meet her again these days, now that I'm female myself! What I'd give to have a love story like this!
