Crystal and Laura are the ultimate odd couple. Crystal is a heterosexual stripper with drug and alcohol problems who seems to thrive on clutter and disorder. Laura is an uptight lesbian author who cleans obsessively and has to have everything in its proper place. The way they are brought together is completely unbelievable but is quickly dropped and despite it’s rough beginning, this was a great story.

The initial premise may make this seem like a romantic comedy but it’s not. These women are dealing with some very serious issues and loads of baggage. I was moved to tears several times. Crystal’s Heart deals with some very serious topics and this isn’t always an easy read, emotionally. I highly recommend it.
