I must specify that even while I found the book itself only 'ok', I very much loved the experience of sitting down to read through a random lesbian novel again; I hadn't done that in far too long.

I enjoyed the characterisation well enough. The story eventually became a bit too stereotypical for me and I much prefer honesty and integrity in relationship dealings (which I do understand makes me a rather boring reader).

In the end, though, I'm very glad to have had the opportunity to just sit down and read through a random lesbian novel again! Many thanks to my dear friend who got it for me for winter hols. (: ♥

I feel like the pacing in the book was uneven, and the characters lukewarm. The ending was not the most satisfactory. Overall, it was okay but not a staple.
