Review:

"Lemon Reef" by Robin Silverman was a real interesting read that displayed many flashbacks of two young ladies...Del(Adeline Soto) and Jenna in through  HS. These two were more than just friends... actually Lesbians until it was brought to a stop by Jenna's parents.  During this  time there was a lost of things going on with Del...the bruises,  hygiene, beatings, and custody threats... then there was 70's music...the problems Del had with her mom...Pascales...OMG ..this was really some time!  The novel was rather long but if you can stick with it ..."Lemon Reef" does come through ... dealing with a very  sensitive subject.  As the story moves on Del has died.  What happened to her and what will happen to her daughter Khila?  Will Talon get custody of Khila? This is a  fiction book about  well you will simply have to pick up this novel for yourself.......off the chain...really some read.   Also there is Jenna.. and even Talon.  Now, I will stop at this point and say you must pick up "Lemon Reef" to find out what will happen to these people and what was so great about the 'Lemon Reef'?   You will see there are no easy  answers to this novel...only leaving you saying.... Wow!  I am not sure I found this a great read for me  but a good one that had many  twist and turns and that will keep you turning the pages until the end. You will have to keep up or you may get lost and you don't want to do that!

There was a lot of characters...some were really interesting people  that made this storyline come together...from Jenna, Katie, Del, Norma, Gail, Sid, Lance, Pascales, Bea McVee, Margaret Todd, Jason, Dirk Beasley,  Alex Sanders, John, Tar Baby, Ida, Nicole, Sam Kramer, Anne Sloan, Ms Fernandez, Doug Andrews, and Mel, Brian, Donald, Edie, Susan, Andrew,  Khila, to  Madison and I am sure I have left someone out.  You must pick up "Lemon Reef" to find out who that is!

In this read you will read...about "reconciling with your past, coming out, being
queer, and first love are all beautifully told within a plot that will keep the
reader invested and interested." If you are in for a good fiction read that will
take you on a emotional roller coaster ride... you have come to the right place
for this good read.  Also, I believe it is a novel you will never forget!
