This book offers an immersive entertainment experience for readers who enjoy strongly appealing and intelligently written lesbian romance and while readers won’t get anything steamy in this narrative, they will be thrilled by the perfect portrait of two souls that care deeply about each other. When death separates them, the question that lingers in the minds of readers is: Will Angel survive without the love of her life? This is a book about survival after a devastating loss, and the author writes the emotions and the psyche of the protagonist with extraordinary care, filling the pages with her humanity and crafting internal dialogues that make the protagonist an authentic character. The prose is dazzling and the dialogues are real, a reflection of conversations that happen in real life. The enthralling and complex characters ensnared me and captured my full attention and the vivid language offered the music I always want to hear in good writing. The Gray Line presents a plot that is loaded and characters that are unforgettable.
