A sapphic reinterpretation of Coyote Ugly? Yes, please.

I am falling evermore in love with Lucy Bexley's writing with each book I read. HOWL did not disappoint, giving me all the fun parts of Coyote Ugly (bar dancing! No water! Struggling artists!) plus a meddling grandma, and wall bangin'!

I will not there is a thread of sadness woven into this story, that is full countered by the present love and acceptance the characters have in each other and their future. Lou and her grandma made my heart so happy!! Lou's parents are truly missing out.

And Clem! I always enjoy reading about romance characters who struggle financially, who need to make things work. This is that sort of romance, including Lou's struggle to keep Boston's last historic gay bar alive.

And did I mention it is hot? It is really hot.

I checked this out on KU for #ReadingTheRainbow22 with But Do They Bang! I used it to fit the "friends" square.
