Quinn Jean reviews Amelia Westlake by Erin Gough
[warning: this review references sexual harassment, bullying and victim blaming as depicted in the novel] If you’ve ever wanted to read an intersectional feminist lesbian love story about teenage girls pulling off a political art hoax, then this is the book for you. In all seriousness, this is a brilliantly written novel about two veryRead More
Rebecca reviews If I Loved You Less by Tamsen Parker
Tamsen Parker’s If I Loved You Less is a modern retelling of Jane Austen’s Emma. While I love the well-written setting, the plot and characters are underwhelming and the unconvincing romance is so slow burn that it’s practically non-existent. Theo lives in the beautiful paradise of Hanalei Bay with her overprotective father. She spends her days runningRead More

Genevra Littlejohn reviews The Woman Who Tried To Be Normal by Anna Ferrara
I read a very great deal, but I’m kind of like a butterfly; while there are some things which will always draw my attention the most, I flit around quite a bit otherwise. When The Woman Who Tried to Be Normal landed in my inbox, I was intrigued to see that its protagonist was aRead More
Alexa reviews If I Loved You Less by Tamsen Parker
Theo Sullivan lives on an island like paradise with her slightly overprotective father, content with how things are. The community in Hanalei is tight-knit: everyone knows everyone, outsiders rarely stay for long, and nothing can really remain a secret. Personally, the island setting and its descriptions were my favourite part of the novel, as wellRead More
