This was a tough one because pretty early on a key aspect of the story is revealed and.. it isn't good.
I read lesbian stories for the satisfying ending and I don't really like to be disappointed/heartbroken.
I did like the writing style but .. yeah... this isn't a happy place.

Ruth Perkinson brings her unforgettable characters to life. "Vera's Still Point" is a tightly woven, layered story with ecentric and endearing characters. Bittersweet and touching. It left me rooting through my memory box for Still points.
