Love in Focus
ByPublisher Description
A relationship advice columnist gets a second chance at love with her ex in this sapphic rom-com, perfect for fans of Ashley Herring Blake and Alexandria Bellefleur.
When her boyfriend of seven years suddenly breaks up with her, relationship advice columnist Gemma Cho is convinced that real love doesn’t exist. As a bisexual woman who’s had zero luck with both men and women, she’s ready to give up on her own romantic prospects. That is, until she's paired up with world-renowned photographer Celeste Min on a potentially career-saving piece on modern love.
Celeste is extremely talented and sexy, and would be the perfect collaborator and rebound for Gemma—if it weren’t for the fact that she’s Gemma’s ex, the one that broke her heart in college and moved to a whole other country before Gemma could even make sense of what went wrong between them. Heightened by the unmistakable sparks that still fly between them, Gemma and Celeste struggle to keep their relationship strictly professional. For the sake of her career, Gemma needs this piece to do well. And for the sake of what’s left of her beaten up hopeless romantic heart, she wants to fall head over heels for Celeste again.
But can she trust Celeste to feel the same this time around?

“It was very refreshing to read a sapphic book where the main characters were in the middle/ end of their twenties. Very relatable.
I loved the pace of the book, although the ending was a little rushed and I would’ve liked to get know more about Gemma and Celeste’s feelings.
Overall I recommend this book to anyone who wants to read a wlw „feel good“ love story , without annoying stereotypes.”rachelica9
