I love historical fiction with sapphic love stories, especially set in the old west. This as niche a genre as it can get, but the heart wants what the heart wants. This time my love has brought me to Crossing the Wide Forever by Missouri Vaun. After years of abuse and isolation on her family’sRead More
Alice Pate reviews The Brightsiders by Jen Wilde
Trigger Warnings: alcoholism, underage drinking, neglectful parenting, abusive relationship Note: Not all trigger warnings are present in this review, but they are present in the book in question.

The following review contains spoilers! The Labyrinth’s Archivist, the first in the Broken Cities series, follows Azulea, the daughter of the Head Archivist and granddaughter of the former Head Archivist.

Sash S. reviews Wilder Girls by Rory Powers
“The Tox took teacher after teacher. Rules crumbling to dust and fading away, until only the barest bones were left.” Body horror. Boarding school. Queer girls. Wilder Girls promises a lot of cool things. Marketed as ‘a feminist Lord of the Flies’, one expects a grimdark pastiche of Enid Blyton’s Malory Towers, mixed with comfortingly familiarRead More
Danika reviews I Hate Everyone But You by Gaby Dunn and Allison Raskin
It’s a shame that New Adult as a genre never really took off outside of Romance, because I think there’s a demand for it. The just-after-high-school years, whether they’re spent in college/university or elsewhere, have distinct challenges. I Hate Everyone But You is set during that time, following Ava and Gen as they are just beginningRead More
Carmella reviews We Have Always Been Here: A Queer Muslim Memoir by Samra Habib
Samra Habib is many things: photographer, journalist, activist, writer, queer woman, Muslim, refugee, and now – with the publication of her memoir – the author of a book. The saying may be ‘Jack of all trades, master of none’, but I think she has done a pretty masterful job here! I was already familiar withRead More

Maggie reviews Hoosier Daddy by Ann McMan and Salem West
I was perusing Hoopla’s queer romance section since I have been on a romance kick lately, and I came across Hoosier Daddy by Ann McMan and Salem West. A lesbian romance about union organizing? Set in Indiana? With a pun for a title? As a queer lady whose roots are in Indiana and whose friendsRead More

This isn’t an entirely queer collection, but it refreshingly diverse. There are eleven queer contributors, which is about a third of the entries!
