Project Lotus

De: Kimberlee Ann

Narrado por: Krista Walker

A local celebrity in the arts community of Quesinberry, Lolly Scarberry shines as one of the main acts at the Lotus Theatre. Always one to wear her heart on her sleeve, Lolly earns the affections of others quickly, loving openly and treating everyone with considerable care—even the town’s resident outsider MackLynn Brooks.

A college transplant, Mack has thought about skipping town every day since graduation, but after years hanging around, it allowed her an accidental meeting with Lolly, and solidified her planting in the town she hates. Typically not one to divulge her feelings, Mack’s emotional state takes a severe shake-up as a result of surviving the awful events at the Valle Mill.

A few months later, after a rollercoaster night out with a recovered Lolly, Mack unleashes her pent up emotions, driving her into a passionate kiss that leaves her confused. Lolly on the other hand finds herself at little odds with experiencing something new with her friend. In a bold move, Lolly proves her choice to Mack with a mesmerizing return performance. Still unsure about her feelings, Mack finally leaves town to clear her head just as Lolly gets a dream offer that leads her to the dazzling lights of Vegas.

PROJECT LOTUS is an adult coming-of-age, contemporary, sapphic tale.

I love this story. I loved it when I read it, and I love it again listening to it. The narrator did an amazing job, and I swear she sounds just like the author when she reads the narratiin portions. (author has reading clips on TT) its uncanny how alike they sound, but it made it even more enjoyable.

The characters are like old friends, and the struggle to admit our deepest desires, no matter how scared we are, is incredibly relatable. a beautiful story with characters you'll love and think about often.

I'll definitely be listening again.
