Painted Moon

A snowstorm. The novel is about that snowstorm, and more specifically it's about an artist lesbian who's semi-recently lost her partner and is still grieving (a lot) and a heterosexual architect who's trying to make it to her Aunt's place for Thanksgiving in a sports car in a snowstorm and doesn't quite make it.

It's a lesbian romance fiction novel and so it's not too surprising what happens next. But as with Kallmaker's other books the characterizations of the characters were interesting, especially the subtly here and there in the beginning of the novel with regards to Jackie, one of the two main characters (the architect).

The story didn't move along exactly as I thought it would, but it wasn't too surprising either.

The dialogue was show more okay, but here and there it felt a bit uneven. Still, the description for the most part made up for it.

Finally, unfortunately, I didn't love the ending. It seemed a bit rushed and uneven as well.

But, on the whole it was a good book with solid writing, but not the longest tome in the library. A short and fluffy read for sure. show less
