Until Soon

by Maya Indigal

Andi Marlow, ex-swimmer and grad assistant, takes classes and teaches part time at a small liberal arts college in New England. Quiet and studious, she resists her friends' attempts at matchmaking in order to protect her once-broken heart. Her isolated and ordered world is disrupted when she meets Cara Jane Lipinski, a senior history major at the college. Athletic and outgoing, CJ is immediately drawn to Andi when the two women first meet at a university function. Andi is charmed by the outgoing basketball star and a comfortable friendship soon develops. Even while the women's growing sense of attraction increases, Andi's past relationship anguish and current job pressures keep her from following her heart toward CJ. The two women must struggle against personal, emotional, and physical challenges in order to bridge the gap between their insecurities and their desires.

Reviews

[Serena · Rating 1 out of 5]

I know this book gets a lot of good reviews. Unfortunately I could not get through it. I missed the chemistry and romance. I could not identify with the characters, which can of course be my fault, I do not know. I did not finish it. I love a romance that slowly builds, but this book  took so long that the flame was extinguished before it caught fire. Without chemistry and real romance, I could not muster more patience for the story.

Until Soon was released (at last!) this month as an ebook. Because I read the online version only, I bought the ebook immediately, and read it again... and really enjoyed it again. I just hope that Maya Indigal would also start writing again.

This is a rather slow-paced but very sweet romance set on a college campus with two very likable main characters. A nice and satisfying read.

Was really looking forward to reading this book (just bought it despite it already being out for a long time). I'm at the 20% mark and its still slow going :(. Hopefully it will get more interesting soon. From the 40% mark it got better.


The couple were cute. I found CJ to be irritatingly impatien. Like come on... Personal stuff, secrets and insecurities take time for people to open up about. Sondont throw a tantrum just because you don't get to know someone's secrets right off the bat.


I really dont want to do it but ill have to give the story a 2.7-3 star. A big part of the story was dull because of the slow pace. It had more potential and could've been better.
