Product Description
Being in love with your best friend shouldn’t be this difficult.
Lynn Patrick returns home to Portland for the holidays and discovers that her lifelong friend, Jessie Greenfield, is separated from her husband. Lynn finally sees her chance, and during a game of True Confessions, expresses her love for Jessie. Expecting rejection, Lynn is shocked to realize that the feelings might be mutual.
But for Jessie, nothing has ever been simple. Her father was abusive, and she married a man just like him. Her husband has already put her in the hospital once and has threatened her since they separated. All Jessie cares about is protecting the people she loves, and that includes her six-year-old daughter.
When Jessie’s husband shows up looking to make good on his threats, will Lynn and Jessie be able to weather the storm, or will he succeed in keeping them apart forever?

About the Author
PJ Trebelhorn was born and raised in the greater metropolitan area of Portland, Oregon. Her love of sports—mainly baseball and ice hockey—was fueled in part by her father’s interests. She likes to brag about the fact that her uncle managed the Milwaukee Brewers for five years, and the Chicago Cubs for one year.
PJ now resides in eastern Pennsylvania with Cheryl, her partner of many years, and their menagerie of pets—six cats, and one very neurotic dog. When not writing or reading, PJ spends her time rooting for the Flyers, Phillies, and Eagles, or watching movies.

By Carol A. Bailey "Cab" - Published on Amazon.com
Publishers description from Bold Strokes:"Being in love with your best friend shouldn't be this difficult.
Lesbian novelist Lynn Patrick returns home to Portland, Oregon, for the holidays and discovers that her lifelong friend, Jessie, has separated from her husband. During a game of True Confessions, Lynn finally sees her chance to admit her feelings for Jessie, but she doesn't take it.

All Jessie cares about is protecting the people she loves, and that includes her six-year-old daughter, Amber.
When Jessie's husband shows up looking to make good on his threats, Lynn finds herself caught in the middle. Will Lynn and Jessie be able to weather the storm, or will he succeed in keeping them apart forever?"

Review
I actually found this story complicated, not in a bad way, there was just a lot going on. In one or two places I found I had to back track in my reading because I'd lost some of the timeframe or context of the story. Specifically in the section where Lynne returns home, she was suddenly home and I felt like I missed a piece of information along the way. It took me a moment but I figured it out.
I liked this book, I liked the story, and I enjoyed the complexity. Sometimes I get caught up in getting through a story and I miss out on some of the storytelling itself. This book forced me to slow down and actively pay attention to what I was reading. I enjoyed the main characters but I also liked the supporting cast. Funny I'd like to know more about Sarah and Karen.

This review is from: True Confessions (Paperback)
An average read. I'm not very fond of plots in which a mere misunderstanding keeps the characters apart, even though it could be cleared up with one simple conversation.On the plus side, the story has a relatively clean point of view.
Both women's families are too supportive to be believable, even the mother who didn't stop her husband's verbal abuse of Jessie's gay sister.

This review is from: True Confessions (Paperback)
I really enjoyed reading this novel. First time I read any book by this author and I won't be hesitant to read her other book. Great characters and great plot. And lots of drama which I like a lot in a story.
