Henriette – :
witty, snarky, hot f/f novella with gratifying depth
I was hooked from the first sentence. It took not even a full page to know that I hit the snark goldmine of witty banter with this novella and I started happily chuckling along when uptight, icey, high-femme Cynthia wakes up in a strange bedroom and tries to remember her ‚apparent night of chandelier swinging‘. Then she discovers – the horror – that she spend the night with butch mechanic Suze, the ‘antithesis of every perfectly manicured stick insect she‘d ever bedded‘. And then the great snarking and out-snarking really takes off. There are sparks and there is spice, a lot of spice OMG!
But this wouldn‘t be a Lee Winter-book without more depth and thoughtful exploration: Lee Winter skillfully adds a whole layer of past, pain, sadness and understanding for the two main characters without detracting from the witty banter. A masterful balance.
And it shows that Lee Winter had as much fun writing the book as we readers will have reading this. After the second page I gave up marking all the wonderful sentences to remember – the book is chokeful.
BTW. You can enjoy the novella as a stand-alone. Added bonus: If you know Lee Winter‘s books you will meet some of her previous main characters (Katherine, Lauren, Monique). If you don‘t you might crave to get to know more about them. Prepare for an epic binge.
I received an ARC. The review is left voluntarily.
