Love doesn’t always follow the recipe…
Cass Little has built a life defined by two passions: food and control. As head chef she’s used to perfection—except when it comes to her own body.
Menopause has taken its toll, leaving Cass struggling to accept a body she barely recognizes. She’s convinced that love, like her libido, has long left the building.
Estelle Raymond is back in Clearwater Bay to grieve her father—and escape a lifetime of expectations.
A brilliant mathematician, she’s comfortable being asexual, but wary of the way love so often demands she be someone she’s not.
But something about Cass—a woman who loves fiercely but fears she’s not enough—awakens a desire for connection Estelle thought she’d buried.
And something about Estelle—a woman who refuses to compromise her truth—makes Cass question everything she thought she knew about passion.
When old wounds and new desires collide, Cass and Estelle must learn that love isn’t always about reciprocity—it’s about trust, acceptance, and finding comfort in the unexpected.
Set in the small coastal town of Clearwater Bay, This Is Who I Am is a heartwarming sapphic romance about queer identity, self-acceptance, and the messy, beautiful ways we learn to love again.
