Tall Again by Zoe CaswellMy rating: 4 of 5 stars
A tender, introspective sapphic romance about grief, growth, and second chances.
This story took its time—and I appreciated that. Mo’s grief felt real, not rushed or romanticized. Her emotional journey through the redwoods was beautifully written and layered with quiet strength. Aspen was the perfect contrast—rooted, patient, and just as in need of something more.
The setting? Absolutely stunning. The way the forest was woven into the healing arc gave the whole book a peaceful, almost meditative vibe. I found myself pausing just to breathe in the atmosphere Caswell created.
I docked a star because the pacing lagged in a few places, and there were moments where I wanted a bit more dialogue or chemistry spark—but overall, this was a gentle, grounded romance that hit all the emotional notes.
Recommended for: readers who love slow burns, introspective character growth, sapphic love stories, and emotionally rich nature writing.
