Sara Walker’s life is going nowhere fast: she has a job she enjoys but doesn’t love, friends who are too busy to hang out with her, and no boyfriend in sight. Then a phone call on a lonely Friday night changes everything, and suddenly she’s spending her weekends with Laura. Newly single and openly bisexual, Laura makes Sara think decidedly not-straight thoughts.
Laura Murphy, with her red hair, freckles, and killer curves, is any guy’s wet dream. But Laura’s done with guys for now, and it’s Sara who can’t stop dreaming about her. When Sara finally gives in to the curiosity, Laura blows her mind and pushes her further than she’s ever gone before.
But Laura makes it very clear that this is only a rebound fling, and she’s still planning to move to California. She’s more than happy to tie Sara up, but she’s not ready to be tied down. If Sara wants to keep her, she’s going to have to work hard to convince Laura that New York is worth staying for . . . and so is she.
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Springer introduces more heat and a bit of light kink as she continues to explore the spectrum of millennial queer love in the summertime edition of her New York based Seasons of Love series (after Thaw), but recurring series characters function as plot rather than feeling like community, and the central couple's immature behavior leads the reader more toward annoyance than empathy. Sara Walker is surprised by a call from her ex Robbie's new ex, Laura Murphy, but is even more surprised when they fall into a drinking, dancing summer friendship with benefits, since Sara considers herself straight. Sara slowly allows herself to believe in her romantic feelings for Laura, but Laura's behavior is erratic: she gets jealous of Sara's male friends, tries to keep their relationship casual, and prepares for a California move. Sara's soul-searching about her identity is fussy and not particularly deep, Laura is sexy but not likable, and most of the relationship's interest comes from novelty and insecurity, so there's no warm glow about their obligatory concluding attempt to make a go of it.
