Love in Focus is a sapphic romance about two exes who were roommates and are now working together. Can they keep their relationship casual? *cue Chappell Roan*
Love In Focus was a light-hearted romance that was very sapphic. I loved it and ate all the tropes up. It was insanely cute and so fun. Not only all of that, but there was a surprising amount of emotional depth. They might be messy saphics, but they GROW.
I also loved the job the narrators did. Gemma and Celeste had two different narrators, which highlighted the different writing styles of their POV chapters. If they already have an established relationship, that is not good. Getting both points of view tends to help me bond with both characters and not hold a grudge against one the whole time. Based on what others are saying, Cleleste's POV was not for everyone, but it made me like her more. Something about seeing Gemma through her eyes had me kicking my feet. There were things about Cleleste that rubbed me the wrong way (specifically relating to Gemma's Bisexuality and the end of their relationship), but the addition of her POV helped me like her way more than if it had been left out. They both did a fabulous job of capturing both characters.
I genuinely loved this book! It's full of sapphic love! HOT DAM that SPICE!!! I had to give myself a second after some of those chapters. I just love a messy saphic relationship, so this was for me.
