"Love in Focus" is an amazing romance book showcasing a second chance lovestory featuring queer, Asian women.

I really enjoyed this book, especially the diversity and the culture side of things. It also didn't feel just like "any other" romance book to me. I can't fully put my finger on the reason, but part of it is definitely the ending. Nothing felt forced, the characters seemed to be in a good place and there because they worked on themselves, apart and together.

The audiobook is done in dual narration, which I personally don't enjoy as much as duett narration. I also feel like there are more chapters from Gemma's perspective, which leads to less chapters read with Celeste's narrator. Sometimes I got thrown off for a second when "all of the sudden" the narrator switched. I think part of that is because Celeste's narrator's style is different (more pauses i think, maybe more).

All in all an enjoyable (audio) book I recommend!

Thank you to Lyla Lee, Hachette Audio en NetGalley for this audiobook ARC.
