Those Who Wait

Sutton Spencer has a plan with two parts: finish graduate school and fall in love. Neither is going smoothly. Graduation is less than a year away and she has no idea what she will do afterward, and talking to women leaves her flustered and tongue-tied.

Charlotte Thompson lives by the opposite method. Each step of her path to success is mapped out, and her young career in politics comes before everything else. She has no time for romance and sees love as too small a thing to risk her ambitions for. Casual, brief and discreet encounters suit her fine.

The two meet through a dating app. On paper they look mismatched, and it seems plain from the first meeting that friendship is the most they could share.

A nervous, uncertain student and a woman who is certain of everything make an unlikely pair in this contemporary romance between two women. Whether either of them can keep to her plan once they know each other is the question the book turns on.
