I wasn't sure if I was going to give this 4 or 5 stars, but determined it was worth the full stars. Likely because it's the first novel I've read with lesbian characters (like myself) that wasn't sexually offensive. It was a love story, a story about commitment and relationship. Now *that* I can relate to. I loved how it was not "in your face" - and in fact there was more time given to the anti-gay rhetoric than pro. What was shared was deep and meaningful, rich and relateable. Worth reading, recommending, and being on my shelf.
