If I was to give you a very short review of Touch Up, it would be this: I did not enjoy reading this book. The reasons, though, are more complicated. There was a lot I should have liked, a lot that was close... but the amount of shame I felt while reading this and the dislike I had for the characters overpowered everything else.

Speakeasy, book 5 in Sarina Bowen's True North series, came out in May 2018. It's taken me five months to read it because I was afraid. I'm going to open up a bit in this post, so here's the disclaimer that my experiences aren't universal.

Review: Just for Show, by Jae

Whenever a lesbian romance shows up on Hoopla (via my library) on audio, I give it a try. One reason is because I'm desperate for good f/f romances. The other reason is because the "lesfic" publishers price their books higher than I can reasonably afford. Sure enough, this one from Ylva Publishing is at $9.99 in ebook and $17.99 in print. (If you want f/f romance at a more accessible price point, your (US) options are: indie authors, sales on the Bella/Boldstrokes/Ylva websites, or libraries.)
