Title: Kallmaker keeps on ticking...
Review: I have read and enjoyed many of Karin Kallmaker's books and "Substitute for Love" is among her best. Holly has a mentally abusive aunt who has hidden her past, a clueless boyfriend who takes advantage of her in many ways, and new friends that open her up to a whole new world. Reyna has a bigoted father who uses her mother's illness to blackmail her into submission.I liked the overall story and give it 5 stars. However, Holly's newfound sexuality and immediate love connection with Reyna seem a little far fetched. If you can accept that we read fiction to escape the real world and see the (almost) impossible happen, you'll enjoy this book immensely.
