When Baltimore lawyer and closet lesfic reader Susan Voight makes a spontaneous decision to loosen up and attend a lesfic conference in Orlando, Florida, she finds herself in the company of some kooky fans and writers.This novella is an endearingly silly romantic comedy from start to finish and the romance that surfaces is more sweet than sexy, in my opinion.  But there are definitely some genuinely funny, laugh out loud moments here.  If I were a lesfic writer or a  reader serious enough to be a lesfic conference goer, I'm thinking this would have been even more enjoyable and funny. I'm sure the target audience will embrace it much more.  It definitely takes some light-hearted cracks at the women who show up there... though nothing but reverence for the real-life queen bees alluded to herein.  lol.Nic Green is Susan's love interest here... a reclusive and neurotic writer with no previous contact with her fans.  She was way too wacky for my tastes, but I was amused at the commentary on how quirky writers and creative people can be.  Every chapter switched first person point of view on each lead and I found this especially confusing in the beginning... thank goodness the titles told me who was who.  It still took me a while to distinguish these two.  Even now I don't remember what they look like.... just that the writer was the nutty one.  :)I'm not generally a fan of domineering comedy in lesbian romance unless it can be genuinely hot... that isn't pulled off often...  and I don't think I could have sat through anything longer than this.  But for a few hours of goofy entertainment, it sure hits the spot.
