Trigger warnings: sexual assault, gore, pregnancy, abortion My Whole Truth tells the story of Seelie, who readers meet in the aftermath of a vicious attack. She’s bleeding, scared, and teeth-gritted determined to survive.

Rachel reviews Devotion by Hannah Kent
From the highly acclaimed author of Burial Rites and The Good People comes Hannah Kent’s latest novel, Devotion (2021), a historical lesbian fiction set in 1830s Prussia that has quickly become one of my favourite reads of the year. Beginning in Prussia in 1836, the novel is the bildungsroman of Hanne, a fifteen-year-old girl who quickly finds herself pulled further andRead More
Sam Reviews The Telling by Ursula K Le Guin
Did you know that Ursula K. Le Guin wrote a science fiction novel with a lesbian protagonist? I wouldn’t blame you if not; The Telling is not one of her more popular books. I wasn’t even sure if I wanted to review it—I try to feature sapphic authors with my reviews here, if at all possible. ButRead More
Nat reviews Sour Grapes by Eliza Lentzski
If you’re mostly familiar with Eliza Lentzski from her Don’t Call Me Hero series (which I really loved) you’ll notice this is quite a departure from that grittier, mysterious style and more in keeping with the contemporary vibe of her more recent novels, including The Woman in 3B. Sour Grapes was an especially fun readRead More

Kelleen reviews The Inconvenient Heiress by Jane Walsh
Amazon Affiliate Link | Bookshop.org Affiliate Link I have elected myself president of the Jane Walsh fan club that does not exist. I am painting us Lavender Menace-style t-shirts with stencils and foam brushes and I’ll order broaches on Etsy. I’ll wear a backwards baseball cap as my crown and shout my allegiance from theRead More
Vic reviews The Chosen and the Beautiful by Nghi Vo
Amazon Affiliate Link | Bookshop.org Affiliate Link I will be completely honest—I really do not care very much for The Great Gatsby. This book, however, far exceeds its source material (*gasp* sacrilege!). This is everything I want out of a retelling of a classic novel, and I am so glad I read it. Nghi Vo’s The ChosenRead More
Anna N reviews I’m a Wild Seed by Sharon Lee De La Cruz
Amazon Affiliate Link | Bookshop.org Affiliate Link A colorful reminder that there is no age limit to queerness, to coming out to and term with oneself. It was heartening to see a slower “accumulation of experiences” leading the author to understanding their identity, a situation that many readers might find relatable. As entertaining as itRead More
Larkie reviews Persephone Station by Stina Leicht
Amazon Affiliate Link | Bookshop.org Affiliate Link Persephone Station is a space romp with everything you could ask: crime bosses, alien life, assassinations at fancy parties, rogue AI, and fancy flying. There’s a ton packed into this book, and even when you think you’ve reached your limit, it turns out that there’s more just around theRead More
Anna N. reviews Heavy Vinyl by Carly Usdin and Nina Vakueva
Amazon Affiliate Link | Bookshop.org Affiliate Link Considering how important Asbury Park and its history was to me in my formative years, it comes as no surprise that this is the comic I recommend to literally every sapphic I have met since it was published. Seriously, it’s got a diverse cast, excellent characters, genuine heartRead More
