Finding Me
It’s been two years since Ava Jackson’s world was turned upside down from one almost-kiss. When her mother walked in and interrupted Ava’s first kiss with a girl, she threw her out of the house.
Disowned by her mother, Ava Jackson now has a chance at a fresh start in a different city with her best friend, Emily. Ava shyly navigates the new world unfolding before her as she slowly comes out of her shell. Inexperienced and unsure, Ava faces her biggest challenge when the charming Isabel Montgomery unexpectedly walks into her life.
Can Ava make a new life for herself and finally feel accepted for who she is? Will she ever be able to reconcile with her mother?
Finding Me is a touching coming-of-age story that explores self-identity, sexual awakening, and the ups and downs that love brings. In her novel, Sandy Gilchrist explores the often-challenging experience of coming out to family and friends. As well as illustrating the difficulties that can arise, she also celebrates the joy that comes from being your true self.

This story sweetly captures the transformative power of found family. Plus it's sexy as hell.
After a traumatic outing, Ava moves to the city to live with her best friend. While there she meets adorable, sexy, supportive Isabell. When Ava experiences an emotional event can her new relationship with Isabell withstand the strain?
I can't wait to read more from Sandy Gilchrist! This was honest, emotional, and delightful. And sexy. Did I mention sexy?

A well-written and poignant love story. This short story made me laugh, cry, & made me feel a little bit warm *eyebrow raises* (if you get my meaning). If you are looking for a heartwarming lesbian romance - look no further!

I did not find this book well written. The storyline is ok but the main characters interactions were not done well.

This was such a sweet story that I read overnight while my young kiddo was having a fussy night. I bet many a person goes to a cafe and hopes to meet a cute barista who also happens to be the owner. A relatable story for many on the LGBTQ spectrum with aspirational friend goals for sure.

A torn and broken young woman makes a decision .
Being forced out of your childhood house can be a very difficult time for a young woman. Leaving to have a life of her own choosing and finding someone to love and cherish her is a big bonus, it comes in handy when the mother dies and buried and Ava is not told and has a letter sent to her from a lawyer that no further contact is permitted, such! HEA . Enjoy!

This was a sweet story. But overall I just couldn’t connect with the writing style.
