This is a novella about self-discovery and
owning the person you are. It is not overly complicated or angsty but has
enough exploration to not be completely without personality either.
Twenty-something Sloan Foster is a country girl with
self-esteem issues. She is struggling to find her feet in New York. She meets
Ellie Howland, a nurse in an ER. Ellie has her own issues in form of a very
domineering mother. Sloan unexpectedly finds herself kissing Ellie and thus
exploring her sexuality. With Ellie’s unflinching support, she slowly sheds off
her meekness. But as a result of all this claiming of herself, Sloan also finds
sparks with another woman, Anna.
Given the length, things happen fast. Issues are sorted out
easily (particularly between Ellie and her mother, Laura). Angst is resolved
with speed.
This is a fair read for a few easy hours or maybe as a break
between more serious, deeper (and angsty?) reads.
