⭐⭐⭐☆
This is a short novella bout meeting
your teenage crush and first love in completely different circumstances after
fifteen years.
Meg, who had to leave home after coming
out at eighteen, co-owns a successful tech company. On a morning like any
other, when she walks into a coffee shop, her eye catches the back of a woman
who could by her crush when she was fifteen. It turns out to be the same woman,
Jo, who used to be a penniless college student fifteen years ago and was Meg’s
Sunday school teacher. Their acquaintanceship at that time extended beyond the
classes and became a friendship over a weekly cup of coffee and long
conversations. They lost touch when Meg left and her Jo is again in need of
help as she battles with the lowest point of her life.
This was short and rather sweet. Jo, as
a person was very likeable and Meg’s feelings for Jo made her very likeable
too. There is no angst, so that is a great thing. The scene in the end when
they finally get together is OTT sweet with Jo wanting to discuss all things
sex lying atop Meg – and both are nude.
A thoroughly enjoyable novella, this
one.
