Summary: Closeted relationship
Review: I agree with a previous reviewer, this book is perfect if you've ever lived in a closeted relationship. The story starts out on a classic plot line, two lovers are together at the beginning and then they run into problems. The ending is classic but I won't spoil it for you. What stars as two lovers moving to a small hick town so one of them can have a job turns into a warming novel of love, friendship, and what it's like when you feel like you're the only gay person in town. Simply perfect.

Summary: Not just for lesbians, though they'll love it too
Review: I had some trepidation when we were assigned this book for an Appalachian literature class. Naiad does not, after all, publish things for me, but this book is a southern classic. Its gentle mocking tone limns the characters in a small Kentucky town with love and shows us that through community one can find acceptance. I went out and bought all of her books after this one and think they are all brilliant. It is time for everyone to discover this fine writer. Maybe think about her as Appalachian if the gay thing makes you queasy. In a class of 28 people everyone, male and female gay and straight, even people in their 60s, thought this book was the best we'd read. You should read it too.

Summary: How True
Review: Living in the "Boston Lesbian Ghetto" and having relationships that are similar to that of Bev and Andie makes this book even harder to put down. This book is perfect for anyone who has experienced the pressures of closeted relationships. The author has a way of bringing life to the page. This book is highly recomended.
