Honey in the Marrow
Emily Waters
An enemies-to-friends-to-lovers lesbian romance about finding heart, hope, and second chances you never thought you’d have. Stella Carter is a former criminal prosecutor and new widow facing down middle age alone in Los Angeles. Without being a prestigious lawyer and someone’s wife, she’s not sure who she is anymore or where her life is headed. When she invites her niece to move in with her, Stella accidentally reconnects with her former colleague, LAPD Captain Elizabeth Murphy. The woman is beautiful but cold; someone she was always at odds with on the job. Surprisingly, Stella finds herself leaning on her niece and Elizabeth more and more to navigate her loss. But as time goes on, Stella can’t keep seeing Elizabeth and pretending she’s not attracted to her. Besides, there’s absolutely no way Elizabeth feels the same way. Is there?

This story was so sweet, I loved these characters! The book covered some heavy topics like grief and finding your identity in your middle age, and it was handled so well. I’m not going to lie, this book might have gotten a 5 star if there weren’t mistakes in the narration. It might just be me being picky, but stutters and repeated lines really take me out of the story and it takes a while to ease back into it. I don’t know if my rating would be different if I didn’t read it with the audiobook.
