Gripping story of SF earthquake. Interesting characters

While a good read, I was highly disappointed and felt deceived when the two characters, Suling and Reggie turned out to be lesbian lovers. When you first meet Reggie, it is assumed she’s a man. So one thought. Then it comes out she’s the “male part” of a lesbian relationship. Don’t hide something like this when people are spending money on your book. Should be in the description. Wish I could get my money back. Feel deceived and will not purchase any other books from either of these authors. You lied. Can’t trust them.
