A review by sungmemoonstruck
Love in Focus by Lyla Lee

funny hopeful lighthearted medium-paced

• Plot- or character-driven? Character
• Loveable characters? Yes
• Diverse cast of characters? Yes
• Flaws of characters a main focus? Yes

A fun, quick read with palpable chemistry between its main characters, a second chance romance where the initial breakup really makes sense, and some lovely reflection on the importance of queer elders and representation. I didn't love the structure: about 75% is told through Gemma's POV in first person and the remaining 25% through Celeste's POV in third person. The book feels much more like Gemma's story as a result and I found myself either wanting more of Celeste or to be fully immersed in Gemma's mind. (The first person also flows much better and the third person chapters are so short that we don't get to know Celeste as well.)
