Sixteen-year-old Zelda didn't want to leave New York or her best friend Prim, but her parents have promised the move to Sydney isn't permanent. Her latest work, Here's the Thing, is a coming-of-age story and it's told as only O'Beirne can. If you compare the four releases, though, you'll see that they're markedly different, shifting in theme while still maintaining that young adult and new adult age group her characters are in but not limiting her audience to those groups alone. There's a consistency when it comes to the quality of her writing, and she's shown in the currently four novels that have been published that she, indeed, has a gift that makes her storytelling feel as if you really are sitting with the main character and listening to their account of what's happened in their life. I have quite a few favorite and go-to M/M romance authors, but there are only two names that are on my list as far as F/F romance authors are concerned, and one of them is Emily O'Beirne. It just popped in my head when I sat down to start writing this review. I've never really taken the time to analyze why. I'm a bit pickier when it comes to LGBTQIA literature feature F/F stories than I am M/M ones.
