The Safest Place by Lily Seabrooke
5.0
I received an ARC in exchange for an honest review.
I enjoyed this! It was nice coming back to Ember Grove (although you don't have to read The Simple Answer to read this) and especially Percy, who I love!
The Safest Place follows Lena and Grace as they meet and fall in love. Lena is originally set up with Will, Grace's brother, but quickly realises she's a lesbian and is attracted to Grace. Grace, despite being the younger sister, is very protective of Will who is super shy, and grills Lena on hurting her brother. So they don't get of to the best of starts!
The little side plot line of them writing letters to each other without knowing it was to each other was cute.
This book has pining galore, characters figuring out their sexuality, and Only One Bed. What more could you ask for?
Grace's and Will's mother is the villain of the book, and I absolutely didn't like her. Lily writes oppressive and controlling parents really well. Grace is 23/24 and still let's her mother boss her around and control her life, which was annoying, even though I understand it is hard for some people in that kind of controlling environment to get out. Let's just say I'm glad Grace and Lena met each other!
4.5 stars!
