Overview

Step through the looking glass with this insightful, intimate lesbian romance that unpicks desire and what makes us feel beautiful. Rachel Buchanan loves making women feel good about themselves. It’s why she adores her job at a plus-size clothing store. Full of confidence and happy with who she is—exactly as she is—about the only weighty matter troubling Rachel is the lack of women in her life. She’s not looking for love, but a few hot dates would spice up her life nicely. Lorna Thompson is the opposite. The receptionist might be assertive in the bedroom, but outside of it she’s become so self-conscious about her weight that she’s now almost a recluse. Lorna craves the intimacy of women but how can she expect anyone to find her desirable when she shuns her own reflection? But maybe she could dip her toe into online dating? The moment the two women discover each other on a dating site, there’s an instant connection, a flurry of messages, and promises of no-strings-attached fun. Rachel hears Lorna’s fears but is convinced it won’t be long before she makes her see she’s a beautiful woman. For Lorna, though, it’s not just mind over matter. If only it were that simple. Facing her true self is only the start of Lorna’s journey to love and acceptance. The question is whether Rachel has the patience to wait for her.
