    Nice departure from "the usual"!

    COMPLEMENTARY COLORS follows Kate Evans' first novel, FOR THE MAY QUEEN with an engaging story about a woman coming to terms with who she is and what she wants from life. As an aside, it happens that this involves examining her sexuality and making some difficult life choices, but the book is more about self-exploration and discovery than exploring alternate sexual orientations. I grew to like each of her characters a great deal as I read, and as I got to to know them better, I appreciated that Evans didn't default to the old, tired stereotypes that so often characterize books about coming out and lesbianism. This was a truly enjoyable read and I'm already looking forward to her next novel with enthusiasm!
