This book gets four stars from me, almost exclusively because of the inclusion of a nonbinary POV character. I enjoyed the humor in this a lot as well. I also was a big fan of the worldbuilding around merpeople — I enjoyed that this was A Paranormal Book that involved merpeople instead of your standard […]
-sapphic!-Deep, Involved Fantasy!–music as magic–a RIVALRY that ends in KISSING?-GENERATIONAL TRAUMA? This is many things I enjoy in a book. Four stars. Bookshop link here.
Honestly I kind of wish this book were like, a hundred pages longer. Not just because I wanted more, but also because I wanted this book to just be drawn out a little longer. I wanted to kind of wallow in a lot more moments, but I guess that’s what rereading is for. This young […]
Oh, I really liked this book! I love that it takes place at the backdrop of a film set, and how the main character doesn’t necessarily want to be An Actor but rather a director, which isn’t often seen. And I love a sapphic misunderstood-rivals to lovers! This was ultimately just really sweet. Four stars. […]
This is a cool little collection of queer sci-fi stories — something that I would definitely recommend. Claire Kann’s was obviously my favorite, but K. Ancrum’s “Home” definitely also places. It’s no Dahlia Adler anthology, but it is very good — I think it’s really important to read stories of queer people having a future. […]
Uhhhhh so I felt Entirely Neutral about this book. Weirdly paced, the main conflict of the plot is that one character is like “why won’t you come out of the closet? aren’t you proud of me?”, it wraps up really badly, but you know what! Straight people have had ten billions mediocre romances published! Gay […]
If I’LL BE THE ONE was for fans of K-Pop, FLIP THE SCRIPT is very much for fans of K-Dramas. And is it EVER dramatic! Hana is caught in a love triangle with two affections coming for her, one contractual, one perhaps contracting for her heart! (Okay, that was a very bad pun, I’m so […]
ENEMIES TO LOVERS? Because their parents own RIVAL BUSINESSES? Gabi awkwardness to Theo’s confidence? Different experiences of being queer from two different people which fleshes them out into fully-realized characters? Incredible descriptions of drinks and pastries? FOOD PUNS? Yeah okay I loved this book. Literally the only thing that could have made this book better […]
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 […]
