Good afternoon Friends. It is good to see you all. It has been a while since I last did a book review. I’ve been so busy promoting Enticed my Love and with my German class. Recently I did a review swap with author Victoria Holmes. Her book, ‘Poptastic’ is the one I am sharing with you today.
Poptastic starts with our main protagonist, Julia, in a pub with her close friends in England. It is told in the third person and contains a few minor points of view.
Julia is sweet and cares about others. She often puts the needs of her friends in front of her own, creating tension within herself. Having been used in the past, she is cautious when it comes to settling down. Her strength is demonstrated a few times throughout the book. I applaud Julia’s braveness for stepping out of her comfort zone.
Julia’s best friend, Kit, is butch. She has a big heart and is always there for Julia. She cares deeply for all her friends and will make sacrifices because of her love for them.
There is one very annoying secondary character who tends to create tension between some of the players. She is untrustworthy, yet people keep feeding her information.
Julia’s group of friends are always there for each other, even when things get messy. The love shows in their actions. They are a fun bunch and provide deep character building.
One romance is one-sided, and you’ll find out why in the book. I loved reading about the other lovers’ demonstrations towards each other. I was hoping this one would have lasted longer.
The story is moderately paced and easy to follow along. There are page-turning moments that pull you into their world. Some graphic scenes show the intensity of Julia’s actions. I love that the author includes some poetry passages. It adds to the story and gives it a sophisticated feel. It took me about five hours to read.
I am recommending this novel to all.
Five Stars.

Lynn Lawler is a fiction writer, whose stories are greatly inspired by the LGBTQ community. Her newest novel, Enticed by Love is about a woman who is haunted by a past love while another waits on the horizon. As the story unfolds a mystery comes
to life. The woman possesses special abilities that she uses in a positive way to help others. Can she put the past to rest so she can move forward?
Her other novel, Awakened by Fate is a story about a woman in denial about her true potential who encounters a reality that opens her up to a new awareness; suddenly things she feared the most became her life.
Lynn has had a lifelong interest in writing and wrote short stories while in school. In college, she wrote an editorial that was published in The Detroit Free Press. It focused on the positives of children’s education in the sciences. She found this to be very inspiring and felt
that people needed awareness to create an attraction for students to study science.
During her early adult years, Lynn went on a spiritual journey to Arizona seeking enlightenment. While there she got to experience some things that were life-changing. She first managed a vendor booth, selling nutritional supplements at an open market. Then, as one door closed another one opened. After this job ended the next day she started working at a produce department in Tempe, AZ. While working at the coop, she educated people on sprouting as well as the health benefits of juicing. Lynn is vegan and has been vegetarian her whole adult life.
She also has work experience in Architectural design. She likes the creativity of this field, but her passion lies in writing.
Lynn renewed her writing desire after she watched a documentary on the life of the 20th-century writer Willa Cather. At the same time, she experienced a loss that encouraged her to take this direction. After writing the initial outline and first draft, the author embraced a new perception that changed the path of her life. The trials of Lynn’s life have only served as stepping stones to a brighter outlook and a stronger spirit.
Lynn has always been a fan of books with some of her favorite authors being Mary Higgins Clark and J.K. Rowling. She also loves reading the works of other LGBTQ authors such as Suzie Carr, KA Moll, and Domina Alexandra as well as others. She enjoys material of the unknown, mysterious, and mystical.
She is the owner of Lynn Lawler’s Book Blog, a site where she has guest blogs, reviews, and author news. It can be found at www.lynnlawler.blog. You can keep up to date by visiting, www.lynnlawlerbooks.com and by subscribing to her newsletter.
