Love in Focus is a cute sapphic romance between Gemma and Celeste; two former lovers who are assigned to work on a project together.
Second chance romance is hard for me to root for sometimes, but when it's done well, it REALLY hits the spot. I'm so glad that Gemma and Celeste get a second chance to reconnect, because they both have grown since their split and are extremely sweet together. It is difficult to root for them at times, but I am really satisfied with their relationship in the end. Also, the spice was high quality 🔥
Bi representation in books always makes me kick my feet in excitement. Celeste is a bisexual woman, and both her and Gemma are Asian; I am happy to see Asian representation in both main characters, especially in a queer romance novel!
The only thing that I didn't enjoy about this book, is that the chapters alternate between first person point of view and third person, which felt a little unnatural. I listened to the audiobook, and the narrators, Natalie Naudus and Catherine Ho, delivered an excellent performance that brought the characters to life and helped to offset the unique alternating 1st person and 3rd person POVs.
Love in Focus is a cozy and comforting read. I highly recommend this book if you are looking for a sweet queer romance! Thank you to NetGalley for an advanced listening copy of Love in Focus in exchange for an honest review!
