When best friends Kit and Julia were 12 years old, a psychic told them that they were twin flames. At the age of 18, they developed romantic feelings for each other. However, Kit was not yet ready to accept her bisexuality and abruptly cut off contact with Julia, causing both of them immense heartache. Fast-forward about a decade, and Kit is now a New Age influencer and professional tarot card reader, while Julia is a successful and buttoned-up wedding planner. When Kit is invited to work a gig at a destination wedding in the California desert, the last person she thinks she’ll run into is Julia, who’s in charge of the event. As their paths continue to cross, they can’t ignore the feeling that fate has brought them back together. But Kit still isn’t out, and Julia doesn’t know if she can trust Kit with her heart again. The otherworldly Joshua Tree setting only enhances the mystical feeling of this sapphic rom-com.
VERDICT Readers will enjoy Faubion’s (Ellie Is Cool Again, written under the name Faith McClaren) novel about living and loving authentically, whether or not they usually read books that feature spiritual plotlines.
