This review is from: On The Wings Of Love (Paperback)

I read a lot of lesbian fiction. Many of the books I've read, even those written by seasoned authors, can't hold a candle to this one. Well-edited and eloquently written, Wings is a phenomenal first book and I can't wait for more.

Stacie Gillette is a newspaper reporter who thinks she's the cat's meow. She doesn't take her job seriously because she thinks it's beneath her. She sleeps with whomever she pleases, but won't let herself fall in love. She takes her best friend for granted, but doesn't realize it until it's too late. A series of unfortunate (yet avoidable) events lead to the loss of her job, her best friend, and her self-respect. Befriended by Cheryl Wright (an author who had denied Stacie an interview) and Estelle Vargas (editor of a local free paper), Stacie begins to understand she's not the center of the universe.

At 263 pages, this book is a real bargain. Even with its length, I finished it in one night (last night) and it stuck with me all day today. These characters have depth, they have personalities, and they deal with real-life issues. The author did a masterful job keeping this reader in suspense -- I couldn't tell until about 2/3 through who would finally capture Stacie's heart. I couldn't piece together the ending until I was almost there.

I can't say enough about the quality of this author's work. Three cheers for a tremendous new addition to the world of lesbian fiction!
