All About Simply the Best

Web Sprite 08/12/2021 Abby Craden, Bella Books, Butch-Femme Dance, Dramatic Romance, Instant Attraction, Leveling Up in Life, Love, California Style, Medora MacDougall, Novel, Romance, Sapphics in STEM

Cynical New York journalist Alice Cabot isn’t about to succumb to the charms of California’s beaches, fake Hollywood glamour, or simply perfect Pepper Addington.

All About Overview
reader email: The discussion between her and her Mom after she returns from California brought tears to my eyes. Thank you so much for that. It was a beautiful sentiment. And I really needed to hear/read it.

It made me appreciate just how much the past few years has hit me and just how important it is to keep loving.
