Publisher's Summary

Small town love isn't always quaint: A lesbian romance...with some twists.

Lucinda Hamilton settles down in sleepy Reverie, South Carolina, because she's running from the troubles of her past. But when her dangerous ex-husband evades law enforcement, she fears that no amount of running will ever make her safe again.

Two women are determined to keep Lucinda's past at bay - the mysterious young nurse living on the other side of Lucinda's duplex, who won't even tell Lucinda her name, and Ardie Brown, an ex-marine who's recently moved back to Reverie herself. It's hard for Lucinda to trust either one of them; it's even harder to admit to herself that she's falling for both of them.

What will happen when Lucinda's ex-husband finally catches up to her? Will the girl next door or Ardie have the power to stop him?

Or will Lucinda finally have to face her past all by herself?

Wow

From the opening quote by T.S. Elliott to the final scenes this story grabs you and doesn’t let you go.

The voice actor, Elizabeth Saydah compliments this moody mind bending look at a couple of women damaged by life and doing their best to survive in the small southern town of Reverie.

This book has to be experienced without preconception so no spoilers from me. I will say Eliza Andrews has that southern knack for setting the mood, taking the time to enjoy a piece of peach pie and blurring reality until you find yourself wondering if time itself stands still in South Carolina.

Powerful look at the way memories shape us, lift us up and occasionally tear us down. Wow. Bravo.

This isn't a fluffy feel good romance

Just a heads up, spoiler free, if you're expecting the typical sapphic fluffy romance formula you're probably gonna be traumatized. This is not that.

But it IS excellent. As someone who has been in tge military, and has PTSD from non-military related trauma I'm in a bit of a unique situation to relate to both of the characters, other than my military experience definitely not reflecting the 'judged on your merit' experience of Ardy (different country maybe the issue there?). Levity aside the author's handling of PTSD is, once again, phenomenal. The complexity and nuance from book to book and character to character isn't something you often see and speaks to a very deep understanding of trauma and human behaviour.

And it's just a really unexpected and beautiful story that kept me asking questions to the very end.

And luckily I'm experienced enough at coping with trauma that I've suffered only minor psychological scarring despite going into this thinking it was the standard girl meets girl, girl falls for girl, something breaks the girls up, girls reunite and live happily ever after formula. ;)

It's good. Eliza's work always is, and this stands out from the pack.
