This book is like reading an episode of a dramatic lesbian TV series.
A group of seven friends hang out together regularly. The group comprises two couples, one desperately want-to-be couple and one happy-to-mingle single. This is the story of the couple that wants-to-be: Rey and Marty. Rey and Marty are roommates who need to move soon. They both nurse hidden feelings for the other. They are keen on moving together but can't find the right place, so the possibility of moving separately is getting real. One of the other couples, Liza and Tate, have having relationship problems. The third couple, Allie and Vivian seem to have got it all together with their personal and professional lives, but things are not quite what they seem. Exes turn up to throw spanner in the works.
The Rey-Marty relationship is agonising. There is only assumption and non-communication between them. So much so that the angst only feels irritating and you actually want to beg them to have one blessed conversation. Just. Plain. Irritating.
The best thing in the book is how staunch Allie and Nikki are. We're not particularly fond of the great butch-femme binary and typecasting which this book has. But that pairing seems to have its takers, so who can argue about that?
While not a great read, this is nevertheless an easy read.
