A Romance That Feels Real: Love, Fate, and Second Chances in March

Nicole Pyland has long established herself as a master of contemporary sapphic romance, and March is yet another testament to her ability to craft stories that feel as authentic as they are compelling. Rather than relying on manufactured drama or a forced breakup to propel the narrative, Pyland expertly builds tension and emotional depth through the nuances of real-life relationship challenges, miscommunication, timing, and the uncertainty of whether a fleeting but powerful connection can withstand the test of time.

Sophie Santiago and Bryce Wilburn are immediately likable protagonists, their chemistry palpable from the moment they meet in a vibrant New Orleans bar. Sophie’s confidence and warmth make her easy to root for, while Bryce’s introspective and romantic nature lends a touching sincerity to their love story. Pyland ensures that both women are well-developed, with layered personalities and believable motivations, making their journey feel all the more organic. The pacing is thoughtful, allowing readers to fully invest in their emotional arcs without ever feeling rushed or contrived.

Beyond the central romance, March is enriched by its strong supporting cast, particularly Jill, whose presence adds both humor and depth to the narrative. Her wit and charm make her an unforgettable character, and by the novel’s end, it’s impossible not to wish for her own story to be told.

With March, Pyland delivers a novel that is both heartwarming and sophisticated, proving once again that love stories don’t need unnecessary turmoil to be engaging. Instead, she leans into the complexities of human connection, crafting a romance that feels refreshingly real. This is a beautifully written, deeply satisfying novel that will resonate with readers long after the final chapter.
