Imagining Reality

My fourth book by Galli that I've read. Second series book. It's possible I'm sappy or something. At least judging from the other reviews for this book. I mean, I got all teary-eyed in places. While others apparently were super bored. Ah well.

So. The third book wherein I find people from this "Virginia Clan", though the first book I read that contained some of these characters, maybe most, in a cameo, wasn't a Virginia Clan series book. Nothing from that cameo would have made me want to read a Virginia Clan book. And to a certain extent the same problem there, has followed in each of the books I've read. The problem being that there's too bloody many humans in it/a member of it. Most of whom I still feel like I've barely meet, and/or show more not sure I've actually meet. And the next book in the series involves someone that wasn't even in the clan when this series stared.

Oh. That reminds me. These epilogues are killing me. Book flows along. A month, a day, a year passes. Depending on the books. Then epilogues. Set between 3 and 4 years into the future. Then next book in the series. Set . . . in between the "end" of the last book, and the "epilogue." Which is annoying on several levels. I'll mention two: 1) it kind of reveals stuff about the next book. 2) one of these days it might actually be neat to actually read a book wherein a couple is involved (as a reader is teased with in these epilogues). Instead of one wherein a couple hook-up/start.

It's a massive cliche, therefore is it a spoiler? To mention that the conflict point is yet again miscommunication and/or lack of communication Seriously. Are there no other possible paths that can be followed. Do all lesbian romance books have to fall down this trap/pathway/cliche? I know they don't actually. I just keep reading them in my most recent reads. mmphs. If the next lesbian romance book that I read has that cliche yet again, I'll probably just stop reading this genre. It's too bloody painful. show less

One in a series of novels about a group of friends living in Seattle and Virginia. easy read, well written, warm and fuzzy.
