About this listen

Girls are a risk college freshman Ainsley Carmichael can't take. Her powerful political family sees her as the Chosen One who will someday be president. Upholding a carefully crafted veneer is second nature until the first day of class when Maya's mysterious gray eyes hold her in thrall.

Ainsley may be out publically regarding her sexual orientation, but she lives under the shadow of the Carmichael's ancient but shrewd matriarch in this contemporary lesbian romance. The girls pair up for a history project, and it soon becomes clear Maya is hiding something when she cuts their first kiss short by pointing out they come from different worlds.

The privileged world of the Carmichael clan stands in stark contrast to Maya's limited means. Ainsley's sexually fluid, quirky, and carefree cousin helps her investigate, only to discover details of Maya's past are sketchy at best as the suspense builds in this work of LGBT fiction.

Will Ainsley's love for the enigmatic girl enable her to break her Carmichael shackles?

When this story started I must admit I thought, 'Oh no! Not another college girl romance'. And yes it is, but it is so much more than that. TB Markinson uses her trademark fast dialogue to such good effect. There is a lot of fun too. However, there is an underlying discussion about history, politics and privilege which is just so well covered and is really at the heart of the book. I believe that this is perhaps TB Markinsons best book to date. Go listen and see if you agree!

Witty dialogue and excellent story
