Hello and happy Thursday. Today is Independence Day in Colombia, which means absolutely nothing for me other than the fact that today’s like a Sunday in the middle of the week because it is a holiday. For that reason I was able to stay in bed this morning until I finished Finders Keepers by Radclyffe and now I can review it for you. I’d like to thank NetGalley, the author and the publisher for this opportunity.

If you want to read a novel that feels like an episode of The L Word, then read Finders Keepers. This was such an enjoyable read for me, and I don’t think I’d gotten a vibe from another book, like I got from this one. This is the eighth installment in a series of stand-alones, and it’s pretty obvious right away because we have all these couples or potential main characters for other installments making appearances. I have commitment issues when it comes to series nowadays, but I think it’s cool to know that I can always read about how these couples came to be. Oh, and btw, if the reference to The L Word wasn’t indication enough, this is a sapphic romance, and I believe all books in the series are.

This was a short novel but for some reason it took me almost an entire week to read. I was pretty busy and I did procrastinate a lot, but I also feel that when I was reading, I wanted to take my time and enjoy what I was reading as opposed to just rushing through it because I had to meet a deadline I’d set for myself. This is the type of romance I like, with characters that actually have a life and stuff going for them besides a potential relationship. They also openly communicated when there were issues…you know, a good adult romance all around. Rome and Tally, the main characters, reminded me of Tasha and Alice from, you guessed it, The L Word.

The only thing I didn’t love was that the “I love you”s came very quickly for me, but also this book was under two hundred pages long and I have issues when it comes to relationships, so that might’ve been a me thing. There is a sex scene, and I think it was very tastefully written, but if that’s not something you want to read, you can skip the whole chapter and won’t miss out on any plot development or key piece of information. I’m happy to have read this book and I’m open to read more from this author.
