Outrun the Wind by Elizabeth Tammi
DID NOT FINISH: 15%

I put this on my TBR because I was interested in the saphic romance aspect. 

Having made it 15% of the way in I'm finding the two POVs to be too similar to each other. There is zero chemistry of romance and one of the main characters was clearly enamared with a male character who seemed very whatever. I cannot trust, given how that relationship and set of interactions worked, that anything between the two identical sounding female leads would be more gripping. 

I also feel in general the writing feels a bit too forced and amature. There are phrases that are common but clearly rewritten/workshoped to not feel trite but instead it just makes the sentences feel stilted or double the length they needed to be.
