My only regret on reviewing this book is there are only 5 stars…this book is one of the BEST books I have read in a long time(and I read a lot)
I have read several of Kelli’s books and this collaboration with her wife was a stroke of genius!!!! Both, of course, have different writing styles but for the life of me I wasn’t looking at that. I was totally mesmerized at how the story unfolded and at times wanted to shake them and say “look at her…don’t you see??? But, of course they found their way in due time. Please tell me this will not be the end of the collaboration your writing together is absolutely wonderful!!!Good job Kelli and Melissa!!!! Please write us some more…..

This book made my heart happy! The lively banter between Dove and Lissa was just so normal and everyday that it seemed I was there in the room with them. It was a nice and slow coming together of their feelings for each other. Jae has never written a bad or boring book and I have loved them all but this one is special. Maybe because of the collaboration of the 2 writers or that the words just felt right. I think that I could tell what was written mostly by Jae and what was written mostly by Melissa. Jae has a certain style with using “big” words that I have to look up the meaning of on occasion (and that is not a bad thing). Melissa’s seem to be more every day down to earth words and that too is not a bad thing. Both writers are unique in their own individual way and that is a “good thing”. I truly did love Dove and Lissa’s story because even with the ups and downs of every day life they were both warm and loving individuals who were just ready for the love of their lives. There is no severe angst or troubling drama other than deaths of loved ones and even that is a part of every day life for all us eventually. Hopefully Jae and Melissa can turn out another book (or 10 or 20) together because this one is surely of the best books I’ve read in a very long time. Many thanks to you both for your After Words.
