I was a little wary of this book based on the title. I'm an idiot. I may not love the title, but, I definitely liked the book.

It's the story of Dawn (of the title, now I'm starting to feel self-conscious because I think I've typed title too many times), and Cam. Dawn is an artist and a gardener who avoids romantic entanglements of all types entirely. She sticks with friends and family.

Cam moves in next door to Dawn. And the sparks fly immediately. But, Dawn doesn't seem totally into it, and so after some internal struggle Cam decides to give Dawn some space and just be friends for awhile. Well, it's not surprising that that only lasts for so long, but, nearer to the end of the book we find out that it's not just Dawn who has some past to get over. She has lost her lover to death and she thinks that she's mostly over it. Is she?

They go back and forth and then Dawn's ex Lori is thrown into the mix and it becomes a total and utter mess in their lives. Yikes.

I loved all the characters. They were all very unique and I also liked how the author didn't feel the need to put in straight people just to do it. I mean, this is our (lesbian or lgbtq+) fiction right? So why can't it just be chock full of lesbians who all know each other (it was really cool seeing Jo and Rhonda again, woo!) and hang out together when they can.

I really liked this book. It was a fun read and a quick one too (I flew through it. Always a cool thing not to be able to put down a book).

I was given this ARC by Netgalley on behalf of Bold Strokes Books. ( )
