Review – Why Love is Suspenseful @QueerBooksPlease

Karin Kallmaker 10/27/2013 Awards and Reviews, Love by the Numbers

    One of the few books about a older woman with a younger woman. Both sensitive and serious as well as filled with humor.

    These stories are great as stand alone and as surprise returns of characters I had read before.
