Love in Focus by Lyla Lewis a fun, Sapphic romcom with forced proximity, second chance, friends to lovers, and workplace romance tropes. I really enjoyed so much about this story, including both FMCs. Three elements did bother me: This is dual POV, in both first and third person. I didn’t really feel like enough of the story focused on establishing the couple’s chemistry and relationship together. And most egregious to me was that Gemma moving on after the sudden unexplained departure and 6 months of silence from Celeste is treated as an equivalent or greater offense, leading to Celeste repeatedly using it as an excuse not to trust Gemma. Still a very good story, and I look forward to more from this author.
