Different than the status quo

This is a good novel. There’s a lot going on and it isn’t as formulaic as your run-of-the-mill lesfic book. Real life stuff is going on here. Good book, good narrator, a nice change of pace.

Entertaining

I liked that it was not a complete HEA atleast not from my point of view. Narrator did a very good job and I had a few lol moments.

Time to grow up

This book had lesbian drama by the carload and it was so well done. The story of college friends getting together for a 4 day weekend and indulging way too much. It is a realistic view of how people and relationships have their ups and downs. I laughed, cried and was even angry which means the story pulled me in and kept my attention. Narrator Claire Storey was great. This is the first audiobook I have listened to with her narrating and I hope to listen to more.

Excessive Angst and Drama

The author has a great deal of both hits and misses among her books, I found this one to be a miss. I did my best to stick it out, hoping that at some point it would get less depressing, hoping that some character would become likable. I suppose that could have happened had I given it more time. I didn't have that much confidence in this book and passed on hearing more.
