Let me start off by saying that yes, just as the title suggests, this is story about two young women; it's integral to the plot.  This doesn't bother me in the least and I was rather looking forward to it after all the men with men books I normally see women writers prefer. It was everything I hoped for and more.  Completely innocent and safe for any age, the story is written by a gifted writer who might have a little more to go in terms of writing mechanics, but captures her tales very well.Things that the author did well that I normally find drive me nuts in books of this kind:* Her characters had real voices.  There were no oddly formal teenage speakers.  Everyone could clearly be distinguished as an individual.* Good grammar.  There were one or two words that I think were different because of the British English versus American English, but I found no horrible misspellings and no run on or fragmented sentences.* Good flow.  You don't feel yourself pulled out of the story by something overt in the writing that makes you cringe.The author is still an amateur, but a gifted one.  The small issues with tense that I found were minor and possibly more me being nitpicky than anything else. I highly recommend picking up this story and giving it a chance.  It's a light, fast read that leaves you with a good feeling at the end.
