Something to Talk About by Meryl Wilsner
3.0

When I discovered this book, I was thrilled to finally read a contemporary romance between two women. Sometimes when there is this representation (f/f romance), the author can focus too much on the sexual aspect of the relationship and almost fetishize the two leads. I commend Wilsner, the author, on their ability to write this book without being creepy. With that being said, I think my expectations for this title were just too high. I have seen glowing reviews of Something to Talk About, but I found this story a little boring. The plotline took a long time to develop and was sometimes very predictable. This is the author's debut novel and I would give their work another chance in the future, but I just wasn't blown away by this book like others were.
