Rachel Friars reviews Cinderella is Dead by Kalynn Bayron

August 11, 2020 by Danika Ellis

Kalynn Bayron’s Cinderella is Dead is the queer fairy-tale retelling we needed in 2020. Bayron’s novel is doing amazing things for queer fiction, fantasy, and YA. If there’s anything we need more of, it’s books like this, and more from Bayron herself. It’s been a long time since we’ve seen a Cinderella with queer girls.Read More

Sera reviews The Care and Feeding of Waspish Widows by Olivia Waites

August 10, 2020 by Danika Ellis

When I first read The Lady’s Guide to Celestial Mechanics, I remembered being enchanted by the writing, the world building, and the gorgeous, tender romance at the heart of the story. It was one of the smartest historical romances I’d read in a long while, and it fed both my heart and my brain. InRead More

Shannon reviews Amelia Westlake Was Never Here by Erin Gough

August 8, 2020 by Danika Ellis

Erin Gough’s Amelia Westlake Was Never Here is one of those hidden gems I want the world to wholeheartedly embrace. On the surface, it’s a rom/com of sorts, with a delightful enemies-to-lovers romance, but if you look a little deeper, it’s message is timely and important. Harriet Price is pretty sure she’s got her lifeRead More
