Review: Stark's Dell is Intriguing & Bitter Sweet!
Rating: 4 out of 5

Initially I asked, what is this story about and where is it going?  And after realizing who or what Dee-Dee was, I wondered what is her purpose; which was not really revealed until the end!!!My favorite part (not surprising) was when Emily went to college, seeking & exploring her identity.  I really liked the smooth & gentle writing style of the author throughout Emily's journey; it was almost enchanting, and brought back memories of my own.  Growing up I was not sheltered, but had zero exposure of Gay's & Lesbians.  It was not until the tender age of 18, after joining the USAF (many years ago), that the realization of my own sexuality blindsided me, causing a number of "that explains a lot", light bulbs to go off.Even though I found "Stark's Dell" intriguing, and it was a good book, I must say that the ending left me sad.  I struggled to fall asleep after I finishing it, & when I awoke a few times during the night, I thought of it; it haunted me in a way, no pun intended.I do recommend this book, it is filled with romance, but it is bitter sweet, & does not come with a "traditional" Happy Ever After.
