All That Matters

I've lost count of the number of times I've read this book. I love the characters and the story and the humor and drama. There are some issues with POV and other stuff but it's one of those books that I just can't help loving.

2/12/24 - another reread of this long-time favorite. I have other things I should be reading right now but I'm still wanting more mental hugs and still doing lots of reporting. That makes it easy to put on a book I've read a bajillion times before and let it wash over me as I work. Don't have to worry about having to stop paying attention and missing a key piece of info since I pretty much have these book memorized. :-)

There were elements of this story that worked really well with my tastes…and some that didn’t. Overall, it was a well-written book and I would recommend it to readers who enjoy slow burn romance (this was one of the slowest I’ve ever read).

I took issue with the way the topic of bisexuality and later-in-life sapphic attraction was addressed. It didn’t feel outrageously offensive or anything, but considering it was published in the early ‘00s, there should have been room for less of a black and white take on these issues.
