Danika reviews The Chosen and the Beautiful by Nghi Vo

May 30, 2021 by Danika Ellis

Amazon Affiliate Link | Bookshop.org Affiliate Link When I heard that a queer Vietnamese American The Great Gatsby retelling was coming out, I immediately requested a review copy. I can’t resist sapphic retellings, especially literary ones. There’s one little hiccup to me reviewing this book, though: I’ve never read The Great Gatsby. I haven’t evenRead More

Danika reviews The Girl from the Sea by Molly Ostertag

May 29, 2021 by Danika Ellis

Way back in 2016, I wrote a post for Book Riot called 5 Lesbian Mermaid Comics You Need to Read where I rounded up sapphic mermaid and selkie comics. There were far too few than I would like, but I was able to find a three page comic story from Molly Ostertag on tumblr aboutRead More

Carolina reads A Lesson in Vengeance by Victoria Lee

May 27, 2021 by Danika Ellis

“Dark Academia” is a cultural trend sweeping Tumblr and Tiktok, an eclectic sub-community gauzed in stark, academic aesthetic and darkly gothic themes. On any dark academia moodboard, you can find androgynous tweed suits, dark libraries, sepia-tined cigarette smoke. However, the trend has little place for female characters or sapphic relationships, as it primarily focuses onRead More

Danika reviews Why Fish Don’t Exist: A Story of Loss, Love, and the Hidden Order of Life by Lulu Miller

May 25, 2021 by Danika Ellis

Amazon Affiliate Link | Bookshop.org Affiliate Link I couldn’t tell you why I started listening to Why Fish Don’t Exist. I must have heard it recommended somewhere, because it was on my audiobook app favorites list, so I gave it a try as something that looked entertaining, but didn’t seem like it would requite myRead More

Danika reviews Hani and Ishu’s Guide to Fake Dating by Adiba Jaigirdar

May 24, 2021 by Danika Ellis

Amazon Affiliate Link | Bookshop.org Affiliate Link You might remember Adiba Jaigirdar from her previous book, The Henna Wars! This is another YA romance between two teenage girls of colour, set in Ireland, and I liked it even better than her debut. Humaira (“Hani”) and Ishita (“Ishu”) are the only two brown girls at theirRead More

Maggie reviews Honey Girl by Morgan Rogers

May 17, 2021 by Danika Ellis

Amazon Affiliate Link | Bookshop.org Affiliate Link Honey Girl is Morgan Rogers’s debut romance between Grace Porter, newly minted Doctor of Astrology, and Yuki Yamamoto, late night radio host and part time monster-hunter. The two characters could not seem further apart, both physically, with Grace habituating on the west coast and Yuki being a NewRead More

Danika reviews Rosaline Palmer Takes the Cake by Alexis Hall

May 16, 2021 by Danika Ellis

Amazon Affiliate Link | Bookshop.org Affiliate Link This is a romcom starring a bisexual woman in a love triangle between two guy love interests, so if you’re not looking for an M/F romance, I recommend checking out another Lesbrary romance review! This is a queer romcom that is essentially set at The Great British BakeRead More
