My first work by this author. I've had this one on my possibles for a while. I kept circling it but kept putting it off. It sounded interesting but . . . the whole 'see u soon' . . . thing kept putting me off. All lower case title. u instead of You. Put me off. But, I finally read the work. This was a pretty good short story, relatively strong plot and characters.

This story here makes me remember something that's been bouncing around in my brain for a while. This story had a female lead. It's set in contemporary times. Family plays a strong role in the story. Romance is a huge part of the story. And, to round things out, bouts of humor. So, I read Chick Lit, right? Well . . . did I? Does it matter than the couple in the story are lesbians?

I read roughly ten chick lit books in a row, sneaking in only one lesbian book during that run. Then I read this work here. From my short little dip into that genre, I have to say that this story here seems to fit all the characteristics of chick lit. Except, you know, the part where there's some hunky man for the lead female character to drool over. That and the age thing. The point of view is of both people in the coupling, and one is closer to 26 than the other, being 4 years older than her pursuer. And chick lits seem to be filled with people aged 26 to 33. On the other hand, the other is closer to . . . hmms. No, both are probably less than 26. So, age of the people involved and sexual orientation are 'issues' with calling this chick lit. I think. I don't really know. bah.

Okay the story - one of the two main characters, Sabrina, has a sister who is getting married. Sabrina, or Bree, depending on the person saying her name, is four years younger than her sister. And her sister's best friend from childhood - Josie (or Jojo, again depending on the person saying the name). Josie spent a lot of time hanging out with Lily as they grew up living nearish to each other. Sabrina watched them from close up. Over time she developed a crush on Josie. A crush that developed to even stronger feelings.

But she is still Bree to Josie - if Josie even remembers she exists. Ooh, I know the age now. Bree and Josie haven't been in the same room for seven years, since Bree was 14. Which makes Bree 21. And Josie 25. Well, haven't been in the same room as far as Josie knows. But Sabrina has attempted to 'show that she's an adult now' by visiting Josie's restaurant - but Josie didn't understand that that was Bree. So, seven years.

Sabrina's off at college in Syrucuse, learning to be an architect. Josie is in New York, being a chef and stuff. The wedding is in Las Vegas. One heads to Vegas with a deep crush on the other. The other heads there with some mysterious texts indicating that the person who will be picking her up at the airport has a crush on her. But Josie doesn't know who that might be. But is intrigued.

Nice little set-up, eh? Good interesting story. Rather short. ( )
