Trigger warning: discussion of rape in review, description of rape, PTSD/panic attacks, and rape culture in the novel Ashley Herring Blake’s previous novel, How To Make a Wish, was a 5 star read for me. So of course I put a hold on her newest YA as soon as it was available. I wish I had rememberedRead More
Mars reviews We Are Okay by Nina LaCour
Not to be dramatic, but we need to start this review with a common understanding stated outright: this novel is beautiful. The prose, the imagery, the point. All of it, beautiful. I found this short novel by completely ignoring the adage about books and their covers, and I am so glad for it. The gorgeous coverRead More
Danika reviews P.S. I Miss You by Jen Petro-Roy
My first introduction to P.S. I Miss You was Jen Petro-Roy’s Entertainment Weekly article, where she talks about how her book didn’t get a tour through schools, because all but one school considered it “too mature.” That’s a shame, because this middle grade book has a lot to offer. It’s an epistolary novel, told in lettersRead More
Link Round Up: June 22 – July 4
This is the Lesbrary bi-weekly feature where we take a look at all the lesbian and bi women book news and reviews happening on the rest of the internet! I’m breaking with my usual alphabetical format to share the first article I’ve written that’s been published outside of the Lesbrary andRead More
Mary Springer reviews In Development by Rachel Spangler
Cobie has been in nice, safe romance films for too long. She wants to challenge herself with by acting in the lead role of Vale, but studios won’t take her because she lacks an edgy public persona that will sell the character to audiences. Lila is a pop star who is taking the world byRead More

Danika reviews As the Crow Flies by Melanie Gillman
Melanie Gillman is one of my favourite artists (tied with Megan Rose Gedris, who did the Lesbrary banner!), so of course I had to buy a physical copy of As the Crow Flies as soon as it was available. I had been following along with the webcomic, but reading it in a physical version, in oneRead More
Danika reviews Hurricane Child by Kheryn Callender
Hurricane Girl is unlike anything I’ve read before. I have been basking in this new wave of queer middle grade books, because that used to be unheard of. Now, it’s become its own little subgenre (though obviously we could use a lot more!) This book comes from a completely different angle than George or Star-Crossed or Drum Roll, Please do, however.Read More
