dja777 's review for:
Queerly Beloved
by Susie Dumond
Received from NetGalley in return for an honest review.
Bouncing between three and four stars here. I enjoyed seeing Amy's growth as she went from being closeted-at-work to more fully out. The setting (Tulsa, Oklahoma, prior to the legalization of same-sex marriage) was interesting for me too -- giving me an idea of what it might be like to be an LGBT+ person in a less accepting place than the dark blue bubble where I live. But the writing often seemed somewhat stilted, with info-drops that sounded more like they were coming from the author than the voice of the character. The book suffers a little from being marketed as a rom-com, when the focus is more on the development and change of Amy's character than the development and change of the relationship.
All in all, I enjoyed reading it and I LOVED the cover.
