COME ON, another fantastic sapphic novel by the incredible Dahlia Adler, author of COOL FOR THE SUMMER? Proprietor of THE book blog, LGBTQReads.com? EDITOR OF A BUNCH OF FANTASTIC SHORT STORY ANTHOLOGIES? Look, pal, I don’t know what to tell you. I loved this book more than I loved COOL FOR THE SUMMER, and I […]
I uhhhhh did not really enjoy this book, which I read on audiobook with a great narrator. I felt like I had no idea what was going on at any point in time, and that there was a lot of inner thoughts — which I think was the strength of my favorite Nina LaCour book, […]
Unfortunately, I think that Albert is portrayed as kind of autistic and he unravels his autism by accepting himself and this is seen as a Good Thing. I found this to be Kind of Inspiration Porn. Let A Man Have His Quiet Routines And Struggle To Get Out Of Them Because They are How He […]
This is an incredible read, for Michigan fans, millennials, and gays everywhere. This book is for Zayn specifically, who I don’t think reads this blog, because he has a Life. Featuring: a group chat done well in a book! Detroit! Black gays over the age of 30! The changing landscape of Michigan and Detroit and […]
Uhhh so unfortunately it turns out that I hate novels written in verse. I have no idea what happened in this book, but it did sound very pretty and it was very gay, which is also the experience of being gay (having no idea what is going on). I think literally anyone else reading this […]
I actually got this book through a blog tour, which I’ve never done before and I was very excited to participate in! So this post gets specific thanks to Algonquin Books’ publicist for finding me and inviting me — obviously I am Pleased As Punch about it. This is a queer graphic novel in three […]
ROM! COM! Set before the summer of senior year! Surfboards! Cotton candy! Carnivals! It’s functionally a ‘cozy’ romance! It’s like Grease but with less singing! (And also only the song “Summer Lovin”. Okay I have never actually seen Grease so maybe don’t listen to that.) Sometimes also we are reading Harry’s superhero screenplay and it’s […]
Literally, everybody else has said amazing things about this book and they were all correct. You should read it. I actually got this eARC to write a paper about it for a class and it delivers in every way possible. I want to own ten hardcovers of this book. Also it reminds me a lot […]
CLAIRE KANN BACK AT IT AGAIN WITH AN INCREDIBLE ASEXUAL ROMANTIC COMEDY. It’s Claire Kann! What did you expect? A flop? YOU THOUGHT WRONG. Claire Kann will never disappoint me. Are you asexual? Do you love romance books? You should buy this one. Keep it on your shelf. In hardcover and paperback. Will 100% cheer […]
This book is genuinely very good, with a very good main character voice and excellent side characters as well. Arden reminds me a lot of myself as a teenager, and the ace/aro representation here in Arden is incredible. I’m really glad this book is out and incredibly glad that I got to read it. Four […]
