Side Order Of Love is certainly okay and has likable enough characters, yet I can't quite give it four stars. There's something missing I can't put my finger on at this exact moment.

Still, there are some nice passages that jump out at me and have gone into my Kindle Highlights, more for the message than the writing:

-She couldn’t undo anything in her past now, but she could still make her own future. Or remake it into something different from the path she was on. (This attitude especially applies during the beginning of the New Year.)

-She just didn’t quite know how not to act like a jerk around Grace. She liked Grace. (Wow, do I get this!)

-She was ashamed to be carrying around this private pain for a woman who didn’t love her.

I read this last June and remember thinking, "What a sweet and sincere book." But...that's about it. ( )

It was a perfectly solid lesbian fiction romance book. Nothing that stood out as bad, but nothing that grabbed me and made me take notice or think, 'whoa, wow' either.

It was the story of Grace, a famous Chef with a restaurant in Boston that she runs with her best friend Trish.

Then there's Torrie, she's a youngish Professional Golf hotshot who's not allowed to play because she's recovering from shoulder surgery.

They're both trying to move forward in life, Torrie from more than just her shoulder, and Grace from a bad, bad breakup of a three year relationship.

From the outset I sorta guessed that it wasn't going to be super twisty different. The novel bobbed when I thought it was going to bob and weaved when I thought it was going to weave.

Still, the thing that kept me reading was the characters. Aunt Connie was the biggest and awesomest example. Her character just jumped off the page and I really liked how she was woven through all the stories. Even the characters like Catie (Torrie's cousin and caddy) and Trish were so interesting. (And now I want to see their story too).

It was a solid book and a fun read (Oh yeah, and some of it was set in MA and ME, and those are always good things). ( )
