Having just re read DTWOF for book group this book also seems timely as its about a lesbian bookshop closing down which is sad to remember that we had a time when lesbian run bookshops were not only a thing but very popular. This is an engaging story and well written.

Laurel and Elaine are a lesbian couple plagued by Laurel's past lover whom is dead and is weighing heavy on Elaine because the past can't be so easily shaken with Laurel. Laurel owns a bookstore that she and Chris her former partner own and now its her they built it from the ground up. The house that Elaine and Laurel live in is hers and has all the furniture that used to be Chris's there so Elaine has never really felt like it was their's together.
Elaine is feeling sad and doesn't know what to do to somehow get Laurel to spend more time with her instead of being at the store all the time. She feels emotionally abandoned. Then a friend of Laurel and Elaine's asks Elaine out and she begins to wonder if she should accept the invitation or not if it would be cheating after deliberation for a day or so she agrees. The person kisses her and sends chills down her spine something she hasn't felt in months with Laurel.
Moya leaves a message for Elaine confirming their dinner plans and Laurel hears the message and is upset and leaves and packs some things and goes to a small to think. Elaine goes home finds Laurels things gone and realizes she heard the message and moves all her clothes out to an apartment close to the hotel where she works. Will they get back together or not?
After time apart and many other events unfold its seems there may be something to salvage but you will have to read the end of the book to find out the details

long answer: if you really want to spend two or three hours reading the most frustrating lack of communication and self-created problems ever, sure.
short answer: no.
longest answer: you ever get so hung up over an ex in your grief that you would do about anything to keep their memory living on anyway you can (realistic)? so then in a relationship that is far more coexistence then anything else, the final straw sends you into turmoil so extreme that you decide to cut off communication, give up all that you had been working for in the first place to preserve the memories and unhealthy grief cycle for your ex lover, and run away and try to start anew without hardly ANY heads up (less realistic)? this is basically slapstick more than actual drama, so it does make for conveniently light reading, but it just feels so devoid all the same. the ending, though possibly the healthiest outcome, also just feels so disappointing after the back and forth argument (or silent treatment) dealt with for 200 pages.

Ms Carter has been a pioneer of lesbian books since the 2000s. It is these authors who have shaped lesbian books today. In the 2000s, with a romance and sex aspect! reread her books!
