Both characters are incredibly likeable, with distinctly different personalities, and their friendship and chemistry lends brilliantly to the evolution of their relationship. Politics is in her blood, and she’s willing to sacrifice almost anything in order to achieve her dreams. Charlotte is driven and intentionally charming, and she’s never doubted her place in the world or what she wants from it. Sutton is charmingly awkward and nervous, but willing to put her heart on the line and ask for what she wants when it really matters.

Sutton’s dipping her toes into her bisexuality for the first time, and Charlotte is about to delete her profile and close the door on hookups for the time being, set to focus on running in an upcoming special election. Spencer Sutton, the daughter of a congressman, and Charlotte Thompson, New York City’s youngest deputy mayor, meet on SapphicSpark, a women-seeking-women dating app. Those Who Wait by Haley Cass is a debut contemporary romance novel centered around US politics, coming out, and deciding what we want out of life.
