6 Times We Almost Kissed (And One Time We Did) by Tess Sharpe

somelesbianwriter's review against another edition

5.0

This book was gorgeously written, filled with queer angst, love and tenderness. The bond between Penny and Tate was beautifully convincing, tangling the bond that comes with shared trauma together with the unbreakable connection between two people who have always been there for each other, no matter what.

Despite having little in common with The Girls I've Been, the beauty of the central relationships and the visceral feeling of the tragic events that ties them together is the same.

Would definitely recommend to fans of slow-burn fanfiction, queer situationships and angst with a happy ending.

made me cry multiple times. the quote, “Loving her isn’t new. It’s a permanent state i’ve grown used to. But being loved by her? It’s like touching water for the first time.”, might be one of my favourites ever.
