Unlike other Brayden’s novels, ‘To the Moon and back’ is low in the angst department which might not please some of her fan base but it’s right up my alley. The cast of secondary characters are all multilayered and play a big part in making the story believable. Brayden is fantastic at writing dialogues, making the most of the characters’ banter and wit.

Having said that, Carly and Lauren are quite different and they complement well, taking their chemistry to off-the-charts levels. Both leads are actresses and the author exploits this well, making them outgoing, charismatic and with a dramatic flair. What’s not to love?Īpart from the excellent description of the theatre world, one of the best features of this book is the character building. The result is a heartfelt depiction of the theatre world, a fascinating comparison to the film industry and, on top of that, a feel-good, chemistry-ridden romance. Brayden gets to mix both worlds as she did in ‘Waiting in the Wings’. Her career as a writer is well known but her theatre vocation is usually overlooked. If you like feel-good, happily-ever-after romances, she won’t disappoint you. Melissa Brayden is one of the A-listers of the lesfic genre and every single time she consistently delivers great lesbian books.
