I am so stressed and so sick! Great! Let’s get into these reviews. Thanks to NetGalley who keeps approving me for books even though really I should chill out.
THE CITY OF DUSK
- incredibly dense
- Really intense
- Not the best thing to read when you are stressed and sick (unless it becomes a comfort read over time etc etc)
- Politics! Magic! Everyone is queer!
- I do not read enough fantasy to deal with this
- Risha is my favorite for the record, thank you
- This is SO LONG
Four stars. I Do Recommend It. Storygraph link. Bookshop link.
DELILAH GREEN DOESN’T CARE
- I heard about this SO MUCH so often
- LOOK AT THIS COVER
- It’s a romcom and it’s not realistic but that’s whatever
- It’s sapphic as heck
- Grumpy/sunshine
- Hijinks!
- You know I love a found family!
- Delilah’s hot
- Dual POV
- These characters are kind of flat but it’s a sapphic rom-com so it’s not like. A big deal?

GIRLS CAN KISS NOW
- This book is so millennial it kind of hurts
- Love some funny essays
- I feel like I am like. Five years too young to understand most of these references.
- Lesbians!
Three stars. Storygraph link. Bookshop link.
TRIPPING ARCADIA
“They lived in their own heaven, their own arcadia, where nothing, not even death, could touch them. Nothing except for me.”
- Med school dropout! Set in Boston! Poisonous revenge!
- It’s dark! It feels green! (I’m not explaining this) A girl kisses a girl!
- I felt one step ahead of Lena the whole time which honestly was kind of incredible to me, I am usually very dumb
- Unease more than horror
- There’s so many commas in this book which is honestly kind of a mood
Four stars! Storygraph link. Bookshop link.
