Goodreads Review
This book was particularly fun for me for the location, which isn't one I'm familiar with and therefore was fun to explore, and for the unique back and forth between the time, trials, and budding F/M romance for the character Niki; and the past time, trials, and F/F romance for her grandmother and great aunt. It's funny how it never read as taboo to me, Eliza falling in love with her sister-in-law after her husband passed away, and the two of them living together, raising their boys. It just seemed fitting and right, and you could tell that Niki, somewhat in place as us, the readers, felt the same as she devoured her grandmother's diary. It spurred Niki to accept her own romance, and helped push her toward moving on from her divorce. There's a cohesion here that really works, past and present, accepting yourself and who you love, and it got me teary-eyed several times. I adored this, and look forward to more from Woodworth
A poignant story about letting go of a narcissist in your life. Have you ever been attacked FULL force by a narcissist? It's the closest thing to being stabbed over and over in the back.
