Summary: Best Book I've Read This Summer
Review: I was a little hesitant to read a work of fiction by a Lesbian writer, but I decided that I would give this author a try- boy am I glad I did! I had feared I would have to read lurid details about the sexual acts between two consenting adult women, and it was there. However, it was done very tastefully and lovingly by the author, and she even details an encounter between two men in a hot Florida nightclub- one man very young and inexperienced, the other definately not young physically but still feeling his youth inside. The "twist" at the end kept me riveted and wanting to keep reading every page so that I could learn what happens next. It was a very good read for the Summer- short, and oh so sweet.

Summary: It has a twist
Review: This is a book about a group of gay and lesbian friends who decide to retire and buy houses near each other in an exclusive Florida community. You get a chance to see how older members of the "family" adjust to living together and to trying to mix in with the rest of the neighborhood. There is a twist ending to one of the relationships that lingers with you. This just isn't what you expected to happen. It's hard to get into the book though because there isn't a lot to relate to in the characters. A longer book might have done the story more justice.
