Southern Roots by Lise Gold
5.0
A great second book in The Compass Series, which centres on the main characters - Hannah and Kristine's journey to falling in love.
The story picks up a few months after the end of the first book (Northern Lights) and this time Gold treats our senses to the hot and humid Deep South.
Southern Roots gives a reader plenty of content to sink their teeth into; from the main arc of Hannah and Kristine falling in love, to job dissatisfaction, finding familial roots and the concerns of being openly gay in the South.
In addition to Hannah and Kristine, Gold gives us a diverse array of supporting characters, who really do add layers to the overall plot.
The telling of Hannah's birth mother's story via letters is a nice touch and adds something different to what many readers might have been expecting.
