Synopsis

Meg Doyle did not intend to return home from college with a suitcase and nowhere else to go.

Ideally, she would have rolled up to her tiny home town in a limousine and jumped out wearing a designer tuxedo. She would have shaken a few hands, signed a few autographs, and maybe kissed a few girls before riding off into the sunset of her glorious, post-grad future in set design.

Instead, she's stuck spending the summer in her childhood bedroom, trawling the internet for job listings after a last minute internship cancellation in Europe.

It's anything but triumphant. Her friends in the city won't stop reminding her what she's missing, her mom won't stop researching lesbian slang terms to seem more "relatable," and around every corner in the small town of Chapel Creek, there's Connie Shipley.

The girl Meg used to know better than anyone in the world. The girl she spent countless nights huddled under the blankets with for sleepovers and movie marathons. The girl who leaned in and kissed her four summers before.

The girl who hasn't spoken to her since.

. . . Which makes it very inconvenient that Meg's heart still stops every single time she sees her.

About Katia Rose

Katia Rose is not much of a pina colada person, but she does like getting caught in the rain. She loves to write romances that make her readers laugh, cry, and swoon (preferably in that order). She's rarely found without a cup of tea nearby, and she's more than a little obsessed with tiny plants. Katia is proudly bisexual and has a passion for writing about love in all its forms.

4.5⭐️ – Katia Rose is still pretty new to the sapphic author scene, but her name is already associated in my mind with books I’m pretty sure I’ll enjoy. Catch and Cradle was adorable, as was the free spin-off novella Stop and Stare. The premise for This Used to Be Easier is the same as Stop and Stare......more

Goodreads review by pipsqueakreviews on October 20, 2021

Love and anxiety. This author has an earlier NA novel (Catch and Cradle) that received many positive reviews but I never got down to reading it so I'm pretty new to Katia Rose. But Statum recently told me said that I had to read this one, so I did. This is not quite a second chance romance but a mis......more

Goodreads review by Gaby on October 23, 2021

I’ve been following this author on social media since I read Catch and Cradle, and then her novella Stop and Stare. Ms. Rose writes mostly m/f romances but This Used to Be Easier is her third f/f book. Meg Doyle just graduated and was about to go to Europe for an internship when it got canceled last......more

Goodreads review by Gabriella on October 19, 2021

(Yes, I know this review is too long LOL. Am I sorry? Not sure...) Katia Rose has outdone herself! I haven’t been this impressed with a romance in a long time. I read and loved Catch and Cradle and Stop and Stare, so I was super excited to read this one. I thought I’d end up liking Catch and Cradle b......more
