Francine Brighton is a young woman trying to find out just who she is, and what her place in the world is as she starts her freshman year of college.
She finds a kindred soul in a woman, Natasha, who has an affliction that effects how she interacts with people. Natasha harbors another secret that Fran is intimately familiar with.
When a person has dropped so low that the only currency they have left is their pride... even the littlest thing can cause an insurmountable rift.
Luckily for Fran, her new sister, June, scoffs at the mere concept of the word insurmountable.

Another wonderful and inspirational story of Love without prejudice. I love the Stories written by Eric that depict people with disabilities and the people who love them for just be who they are. Great book and nice tease at the end concerning Zil and possibly Jen? Can't wait!
" I don't think anyone truly knows who they are because we are always changing, evolving. Our experiences are like building blocks, our emotions like the mortar that holds it all together. You might start off as one thing, a warehouse of knowledge, and become something new like a skyscraper, soaring to new heights. Humans weren't meant to be static, to be defined as just one thing."
I already died after reading the first chapter and just crawled back from hell to be able to finish the story, that was so sweet and on point, especially the vows, it fit their characters so well. I already loveeeeee this. And it wasn't even the highlight or main focus of this book. As much as Roktoberfest reminded me of Karaoke Queen, Small Fry also reminded me another one of my favorites, Girl Next Door. Small Fry had made her way into my heart ever since reading Water Gypsy and it was such a treat being able to read her story finally. I love how confuse yet confident Fran was written, she doesn't sound like a wanna-be or pretentious, not even a bit. The romance was adorable (as usual :D)and I found it to be so cute and not overdone. The ending was satisfying but it reminded me toomuch of GND.
Did I mention how much I love the intelligence oozing from this novel? This is a perfect gift for my fellow sapiosexuals, sigh..
“About time our thesaurus girl started dating again. We thought she was going to marry an unabridged dictionary or an unpronounceable word if she didn't find someone soon.”
Tasha blushed and looked at her shoes and mumbled, “Her loquacious verbalization is what beguiled and captivated me, a fellow bibliophile.”
Tabby gleeped out one of her explosive laughs, laid her head on Teri's shoulder, and told her wife, “Bloody hell, now there's two of them!”
― “Where iz be? In lecture hall now, no Tash.” With a smiley emoticon following it.
I texted back, “I am on my way now. Your grammar and diction regress when you text.”
She sent back an, “LOL! Text no be email, woman.”
Immediately followed by, “I could facilitate a more stilted and artificial eloquence in my texting if that is what you would prefer. Though it seems more ponderous and obsessive in a rapid messaging application.” Then a heart emoticon.
Props to Erik for the research he does for all of his novels. Admirable. Can't wait to see the next trick he'd pull-off.
This is one of the characters I have been highly anticipating getting her book since June's. It was everything I had hoped it would be! This book contains just enough humor, sweetness, and drama to balance beautifully. Fran was everything I had expected her to be. Tasha, with her flaws and insecurities, was one of the most emotionally vulnerable characters in this series. I love how the characters in this series are so easily relatable. This is not a romance with two perfect, flawless women. This is vulnerable women who suffer from afflictions and come out with the epic love we all dream of. This romance is sweet and one I will read again and again.
Happy to delve into a returning character in a focused manner. I had never heard of this affliction prior to this story. How amazing/terrible the human mind can be. I can't quite picture how I would react having to live with this issue. I wonder who is affected more the person with the issue or their loved ones. Hey Erik, when my mother had a stroke and I brought her home to care for, she had lost all concept or understanding of time. It was very difficult for both of us as not only could she not relate to a time driven day (that we all live in) but she would also live through different 'times' of her life throughout each day. Growing up in Alaska, college in Seattle (UofW), marriage, and so on all in the same day. Terrible to live though as her care giver and her loved one, but a possible book concept? Keep up the great work.
"Read via Audible" Another nice story by Mr. Schubach with likeable characters introduces through the story that I am sure will be making visits in later stories. I did find this story disturbingly monotreme free. I did not hear one platypus reference during the story. I was also intrigued by the introduction of a transgender character in the story. Being this is a subject dear to me, I quickly bought the book involving that character. I am looking forward to how the subject is broached.
