De: Arya Collins

Narrado por: Virtual Voice

Lauren Clarke spends her days surrounded by books. She enjoys working at the bookstore in the small town of Zachary, Maine, but she regrets never finishing college after her life was disrupted by a tragic event. She’s also sworn off serious relationships after her last girlfriend cheated on her.

Nalini Mehta has recently moved to Zachary, starting graduate school at the university. She’s never had a serious relationship because she knows she has to face her inevitable fate—being married to a man she’s only met once in her life.

After Nalini and Lauren meet, they agree to keep things casual and settle on a “friends with benefits” arrangement. Their relationship progresses, overcoming the differences in their cultural backgrounds. But when it’s time for Nalini and Lauren to face their very different futures, can they still remain friends?

Different lives

I liked the rural location for two women to find themselves after relationship limit misunderstandings and life (career and family) direction upheavals.

Cultural differences

I really enjoyed the writing style of this author. The author wrote both MCs so well. I could really feel why the one MC felt she had to go through the arranged marriage and how her culture reacted to LGBTQ. There was spice.
