THOUGHTS:
I think this is my favorite sapphic historiacl romance that I’ve read so far. Jo has a lavender marriage with her husband Paul, and that generally works well but some things have led to her having more anxiety that he might divorce her. While that’s happening, she meets Emily, a doctor who might help AND the woman she falls for. They end up really connecting while writing letters to one another? And it’s all very sweet and very fun. This is the third in a series (the other two being achillean romances) so I’ll definitely be going back to read those as those characters made appearances and I loved them too!
