Following Mikayla’s divorce she needs changes. She’s been left off financially fine thanks to her ex-husband of 12 years, but the idea of staying in one of the homes he left her filled with memories of them doesn’t feel right. Thankfully Mikayla’s sister Ashe has a friend Brandi who needs a home in London for 6 months. So Mikayla swaps her London home for Brandi’s home in a mobile home community at Oceana where Mikayla meets the lovely Gem who stirs up things for Mikayla that she never expected before. 

A gentle sapphic love story for two women in their 30s exploring second chances in life with careers, families and choices. Overall a perfectly lovely story, but one that didn’t enthral me like I hoped it was. I found myself ready for the end a bit before it ended with a fast paced ending with lots of dramatics. Although I’m certain this would be a story many would enjoy, it didn’t quite hit all the marks I was hoping for me.
