About this listen

Scholar and award-winning author Faith Fitzgerald has every reason to be happy: a wealthy, charming man who adores her and a family cheering her marriage prospects. But from the moment she meets Eric's sister, Sydney Van Allen, she knows her safe, predictable feelings for him are a shadow of what could be.

Openly lesbian and running for senator, Sydney can only succeed if she can live down her wild past. That means no liaisons, especially with the achingly alluring woman on her brother's arm who looks at her with confusion - and desire.

Kallmaker writes beautifully, the level of flow that seems effortless. This book tackles the trauma that comes with religious condemnation of gay people. In good news, the MC overcomes the trauma to reconcile with herself and find freedom.

Terrific picture of struggling with religion

This is an easy read. It touches on religious traumas and how it shapes a person and their beliefs. Also, there is a scene with mild domestic violence.
Otherwise, it covers off on powerful women and how their actions in their time reflects in current decisions for these women.

The book details the individual goals and progress of the two women, while developing their story together on the side. While the move from first meeting to lovers is quite quick, and it misses parts of Sydney's story that would help explain some behaviours, it's well written.

All in all a good read.

Narration is 10/10 as per usual for Abby Craden.
