Stay With Me by A.L. Lamb
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
I say “deceptively,” because this author never shies away from difficult subjects. She writes gay characters with sensitivity and a lot of affection.
I had a Lily Lamb binge-read this week as I just needed a book to wrap around me like a warm duvet, and this provided just the escapism I needed. Even though there is a tough sub-plot, that of a young Asian bullied by his overbearing father, and another of a character feeling uncomfortable in his own skin, not being the svelte love interest in so many other novels, this was a warm, sweet book with a lovely ending and two delightful characters. I was rooting for them to find happiness right from the first page.
