Publisher's summary

Which mistakes can never be fixed? Would you fight for a five-year relationship after your lover's had a drunken one-night stand? A slow-burn lesbian workplace romance that asks what you'd do when love isn't always easy, neat, or simple.

The past twelve months have seen Alex and her girlfriend, Terri, slowly drift apart. The awful revelation of Terri's one drunken night of betrayal shows Alex just how far apart they are. The more they fight, the less Alex even wants to try.

On a business trip to Canada, Alex meets Justine and, over the course of one pivotal evening, a connection is formed that shatters everything Alex thought she knew about herself. Returning to London, she's faced with choices that will irrevocably change her life.

Now her heart is torn between loyalty to the old and new beginnings in a long-distant relationship.

An uplifting, beautiful novel that has heat, honesty, messy lives, and real-life women.

Contains mature themes.

Heartfelt and Honest

This story includes infidelity, mostly off-page. This would normally turn me away from a book, but the author never allows the characters to get a pass for infidelity. Instead, she has the them wrestle with the fallout and aftermath, dealing with their own emotions as well as the impact on friendships. The story may feel slow-paced, but it’s time well -spent allowing the characters to do the necessary work to grow from their actions. And to witness this growth was moving to me. It felt real and raw and included humanity’s faults and all. The performance was well done and a good match for the story. Highly recommend!

The Story is Slow and Repetitive.

To be fair, I'm writing this review with 58 minutes remaining of the book. I don't feel bad doing this however because I don't see a massive change to the pace of the story happening. From the opening chapter, this book has moved along in almost a snails pace with the characters of Alex and Justine lamenting their partnerships with their ex's and wondering how anything could happen between themselves after a one-sided, quick fling happens.
I try to be fair with all the books I listen to, but some just don't have that 'click' that draws you in and makes you want to listen more. This is one such book for me. NOTE: After finishing this book, I stand with my previous remarks.
