Review of ‘Loving Blue in Red States: Salt Lake City Utah’ by Anne Hagan

Loving Blue in Red States: Salt Lake City Utah

 

Anne Hagan has written another thought-provoking short story in her latest series.  When Amanda plucks up the courage to walk into a gay-owned coffee shop she changes her life in more ways than one.  Working for an ultra-conservative Mormon bank she has to keep her private life very private.  Will she be able to keep doing that?  Rebecca, the barista in said coffee shop awakens something in Amanda, but she has troubles of her own.  Will they get past these problems?  I enjoyed the setting of the story and the main characters.  Amanda had a strength that came to the fore at just the right time and Rebecca was already standing up for herself in the face of prejudice.  I am really enjoying the whole series as the author has managed to point out that things are getting better but there are still women who need our support.  Especially in these scary political times.

 

I was given this ARC in return for an honest review.
