I devoured this book in two nights. Great story, great writing, an absolute page turner!
AnonymousGoodreads reviewer, Don't Bang the Barista!
Leigh is becoming one of my favorite indie authors,and just may end up on the list of all time favorite authors,and here’s why: she’s smart, witty, and her plots flow beautifully.
JeniferGoodreads reviewer, Go Deep
in the small space of about 200 pages, this book manages to be fun and smart, complex, and intensely readable.
Casey StepaniukCaseythecanlesbrarian.com, reviewing Don't Bang the Barista!
I was drawn in from the first page!
TrulyAmazon review of The Old Arbutus Tree
I”m going to agree with all the other 5 star ratings – I really liked this book! I found it relevant, funny and well-written. Kate is portrayed with honesty and depth. She’s genuine and sweet, and made me hope for her happily-ever-after right from the start. I’m thrilled to have found a new author I know I can count on for a guaranteed great read!
JamieAmazon review of Don't Bang the Barista!
An enjoyable, page-turning addition to the All Out Vancouver series.
JulieThe Lesbrary.com, review of Go Deep
As a Vancouverite it was a pleasure to read a book that feels like a true reflection of the city, and I especially appreciated the realistic depiction of characters not often seen in fiction (particularly bi and genderqueer characters). They feel like real people, who are imperfect but who are trying to live meaningful lives and make meaningful connections. Great fun, and I couldn’t put it down once I started it.
JodieGoodreads reviewer, Go Deep
intriguing, endearing and utterly captivating throughout.
