Susan X. Meagher

Wait For Me

I love when I can't keep the smile off my face at the end of a book. This is a damn near perfect romance for me: slow burn, lots of time to get to know the characters - and for them to get to know each other, and plenty of chemistry.

While plenty was different in this book, the feel of it reminded me of All That Matters. I cared about both of these women and felt like I had a stake in their relationship. I honestly had a very tough time putting it down. Which is saying a lot, really, since the past few months have been filled with more books that I've quit than I've finished. But there was no way I could drop this one.

If you're already a fan of SXM, you'll very likely fall in love with this book. If you haven't tried the author yet, now's a good time.

**After reading it for a second time in preparation for the upcoming Cocktail Hour show, I feel pretty much the same as I did during my first read. **

3 Stars. Whoa did it really take me about a month to finish this book?

First the good - I really liked both characters. Molly who recently divorced Dieter, when she came to terms that she was a lesbian. (She never cheated). Molly decides to join a book club when her old one wasn’t working for her. At the new book club she meets Alexa, who is happily married to Michael and they own a small but successful high end woman’s clothing boutique. Molly & Alexa immediately hit it off as friends. BFFs to the highest order. Unfortunately Molly also falls in love with Alexa but unwilling to lose Alexa never tells her. 

It starts out well, but it really dragged in the middle. I like slow burn, but this was sloooow. So much so, I put the book down numerous times and picked up another book or fanfic to read then went back for a few chapters and repeat. Good thing is I was able to pick up the book and continue reading without missing a beat. That doesn’t usually doesn’t happen for me. It helps that Meagher is a good writer and I was determined to finish. The thing is, if I thought about it, I normally avoid any stories with infidelity and I probably shouldn’t of bought this book. I was getting anxious waiting for it to happen. 

So the middle was about their friendship, Holly’s relationship with her parents and Alexa’s marriage. Then the ending felt so rushed and short that they were a real couple for only the last 3% of the book. I would’ve like to see more of them as a couple. Though I guess you could argue they were a “couple” when they were just friends just without benefits. However Holly was suffering in silence with unrequited love.

Oh well, many more liked this book more than me so your mileage may differ.
