Love in Focus was an enjoyable read. I liked how this book was a second chance romance, however I do wish we got more of what Gemma and Celeste were like 8 years ago. I felt a lot of the book relied on their backstory, and yet we didn't get much of it, just slow pieces slowly dripped in throughout the book. So, a lot of the yearning and tension that should have been felt just wasn’t there � we never saw any of this with them, these are characters new to us. Therefore, while Gemma and Celeste did have some chemistry, the sparks never really seemed to fly off of the page for me.

I really liked how this book put a focus on the queer community, particularly looking in to queer elders. There was some really great exploration here, and why that can be so important to many youths in the community.

I loved Gemma’s friends, Kiara and Val!

The plot had decent pacing and I liked seeing the characters grow, in particular Gemma. I felt there was a weird dissonance between Gemma and Celeste, with the former being told in first and the latter being told in third. I don’t think it quite worked and I feel it may have been more beneficial to have both characters written in the same perspective.
