Once Ghosted, Twice Shy by Alyssa Cole
4.0

Oh Alyssa Cole, you manage to steal my heart every damn time. And this time with a queer love story! The woman can write anything! This novella suffers from the same fate of all novellas: it's just too short. Fabiola and Likotsi are really wonderful characters and I would have relished a full novel focusing on their love story. We've already met Likotsi, but Fab gets to be really dynamic and fleshed out, which is quite the accomplishment considering how short the novella was!

Because the concept of the book is focused on these character's second chance at love together, we get the two time points of Spring & Winter covering their whirlwind first time together and their unexpected reunion. I did prefer the Winter chapters because I'm a sucker for the angst of running into an old flame, and I did feel a little like a ping pong ball bouncing back and forth (although Fab and Likotsi's confidence in the Spring chapters... so damn hot). But the story wrapped up very sweetly, and I thought Cole did an excellent job pulling in some topical issues.

I adore this series so, so much. I wish it would never end!
