Status Updates From Solstice

I like Emily and Sam, and I don't always say that or think that about the characters in books, but they are killing me here. Two people with long term crushes who are horribly afraid to be damaged. I need to stop reading books involving 20 year-olds. I knew I'd read a previous book by Christie, but I just realized it wasn't the one I was recalling. I was going to make a comment that doesn't fit now. Ah well.

Just so I'll remember things later when everything is said and done - Sam kissed Emily on check in bar, then, outside, Emily pushed into and kissed Sam. Whereupon Sam fled. Still, she fled. She's older by 4 years and the one who fled. If playing game of 'who calls next', you'd think Sam would be the one with the obligation to say what the fuck is going on with running.

Unfortunate that I didn't know this was a lesbian-straight relationship book. Also, WTF? 'Why hadn't Emily called? She was the experienced lesbian here. Didn't she know I was waiting for her to make the next move?' - um, you kissed her and then ran. She's the one to make the next move? WTF?
