Description

At forty-five, Rebecca has spent two decades building a life that looks perfect on paper. She has a comfortable marriage, two grown daughters, and a routine that rarely surprises her. But when the dust settles on her divorce, she realizes the life she curated was never truly her own. Standing at the threshold of a new chapter, she decides to embrace the truth she ignored for years: she is a lesbian. Determined to make up for lost time, Rebecca sets a goal to go on ten dates. What follows is a heartfelt, humorous, and deeply relatable journey of self-discovery. Navigating the modern dating scene as a midlife woman is messy, awkward, and surprisingly exhilarating. As she balances the reactions of her family with the thrill of newfound attraction, she learns that it is never too late to rewrite your narrative. This story captures the vulnerability of coming out later in life and the courage required to pursue authenticity. Whether she finds love or just learns to love herself, Rebecca’s transformation is a testament to the beauty of starting over. Warm, witty, and profoundly human, this contemporary romance celebrates the joy of finally becoming who you were always meant to be.

what a cute book

This was really a very cute story. Realizing you’re a lesbian later in life, divorcing your husband of 20 years, telling your daughters, parents, then moving into your sister’s basement. Lot of changes. Your married lesbian sister insists you date 10 women before going on a second date with anyone. Of course some of the dates are hysterical. Think you’ll enjoy this book it was a quick read, will definitely have you laughing.

Short and fun!

The premise of this book is so straight forward. Rebecca, mother of two college age daughters, divorces her husband, and best friend, when she tells him she's a lesbian. She's loved him since high school, but is not in love with him and they both deserve better. It's a very amicable split. Her sister convinces her to go on ten first dates before she can go on a second date with someone because she has no same sex experience. All of their friends and colleagues set up dates for Rebecca. Some of them were ridiculous, some funny and some very adventurous. It's a fun, quick read with a happy ending!

hey, it’s Seattle…

It was the reason why I purchased this novella. I can’t say it was a friends to lovers lesbian trope. They were strangers. So, I am not sure how that tracks. And it also wasn’t truly midlife either. The MC was in her late 30’s. I love lesfic centered around Seattle because I live here. It is nice to hear about familiar places. The first book I read was “Written In The Stars” by a different author and was drawn to it because I took place in Seattle. I liked the concept of 10 dates. Dating women can be tough and is truly hard not to fall too fast and too deep. Rebecca after being married for 18 years realized she was a lesbian. Divorced and started dating. The woman who actually intrigued me wound up being her second date Veronica. That was until she met Heidi. I saw the attraction there but it didn’t seem all that different from Veronica. Except what they did on their first dates that set them apart. All in all, it was a decent story and moved very fast. I’m glad that they both received their true HEA.
