REVIEW: 

Coming across a female/ female romance by an Indian author had me sigh in relief as it’s often the L part of LGBTQIA+ that gets ignored. While the book cover isn’t exactly impressive, just knowing that it’s something refreshing was enough, which is the reason why I decided to pick up That’s True, I Love Her.

While there were many recurring errors in the language, author Priyanka M. A. Singh’s writing is easy to follow and understand, which automatically makes it accessible to a wider audience and that’s a huge advantage because it comes with a really simple message and that is: love is love. The story itself seemed to focus more on a holiday that the protagonist goes on, rather than the development of a same sex couple relationship, which wasn’t undesirable. A deeper look into the ways of the heart would have been better.

The standout in this book was the portrayal of a few other relationships, like the one between the main character and her parents and her friends Abraham and Shekhar, which, as a same sex relationship, was extremely well done. The scenes from a holiday in Thailand brought back many memories of the gorgeous country, which is always a plus.

Not exactly a unique or even great read, That’s True, I Love Her comes with the promise of more, so that’s definitely something to look forward to. An easy quick read, this book has to be applauded for talking about love in the simplest manner, just the way it should be.
