4.0

This was a positive, light f/f read with a pansexual main character (!) and wonderful relationships, romantic and otherwise. I can only remember one male character in the book, otherwise it was a wonderful mix of girlfriends, female friends, sisters and just all kinds of relationships between girls, which was really refreshing to read.

I really liked the message that you can drop out of university and start something new - it's not the end of the word if the thing you planned doesn't work out, and you shouldn't let someone else decide what you're supposed to do with your life. I also really loved that it is about people working in a bookshop, which is like, The Dream.

That being said, the writing style was sometimes distracting - the present tense coupled with the narrator who described Chris's feelings in detail made me wonder why this isn't written in first person. This novella is also really short, which makes it a quick and fun read, but it also made me feel like everything was happening too fast sometimes. There is no real time for characters or relationships to develop.

Overall, it was wonderful to read about so many positive (LGBT) female characters with so many different, positive relationships. There is definitely room for improvement concerning the writing style, but I would still happily recommend this to anyone who is looking for a sweet f/f novella.
