Why read it?
1 author picked Alone as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
It might tempt someone to choose a book in Noyes’ Ask, Tell series, but Alone is my recommendation.
A romance with such a lonesome title might not appear swoon-worthy on the surface, but dig a little deeper, and witness the burgeoning romance between Celeste and Olivia develop in such beautiful fashion in their isolated cocoon–until all goes wrong.
Still, the loving way they interact, learn about each other, and then yearn for each other had my heart skipping beats until the end. Noyes has a way of writing characters with whom it’s easy to fall in love.
From Alaina's list on sapphic romances to make you swoon.
