 I have read and enjoyed many books by Harper, I couldn’t tell you my favorite, until now. No Strings Attached jumped to the top of the list. The story is told in third person, past tense and from Micky’s point-of-view. Which allowed me to become closely acquainted with her. The story telling is so vivid, so realistic, I’m sure many, many readers will find themselves able to relate to the struggles, Micky, a woman in her forties, has to deal with coming out later in life. Not only to her two teenage children, but to her ex who she’s still on friendly terms with, her mother, and everyone else who is important to her. The teenagers added a layer of depth to the story but by no means overwhelmed it. The coffee shop setting and cast of characters were wonderful. Amber is the type of best friend everyone needs. I adored her. Micky’s first lesbian encounter, with a woman who insisted on a ‘no strings attached’ hook-up, had my inner lesbian purring in erotic bliss. For most of the story I didn’t know if these two would get past their individual hang-ups so to speak. My one quibble would be that I never really got to know Robin, yet at the same time, I realize it wasn’t her story. I did like how the story showed no matter how set in their ways a person might be, love can win out. The ending left me satisfied and wanting more at the same time. I can’t wait to see who features in book two. I highly recommend this story to anyone who enjoys a well penned, emotional, heart-warming story |
