To be honest, I wasn't sure I was going to like It's Elementary when I began it. One of the two female leads, Victoria, seems a bit too pigeon-holed in her own ideas and convictions to grow as a character and comes across at first as someone who would rather commit to the casual physical than an actual relationship. Jessica is a shoe-in from the start, though. Adorable in behavior and very kind, she is easily someone a reader can grow attached to quickly. You like her so much that when Victoria (in how she acts around Jessica) is kind of a jerk (before you get to know her better) you want to yell "Run away from that woman."


Thankfully, Victoria is not a jerk and both women, teachers at an elementary school who don't really understand their feelings at the start, emerge for the better from what they experience together. There is a surprising suspenseful scene near the end I still don't know what to make of and the painfully realistic elements of having to worry about job security because of your sexuality made for some sadness, but overall...A very very likable, sweet read that will put a smile on your face! :)… (meer)
