“Let the sea take it.” The Gloaming begins with jellyfish washing up near a cliff by the sea, on an island where the residents die slow deaths by turning to stone. It’s a sad, strange and beautiful scene, just one of many sprinkled throughout this novel. Our protagonist is Mara, who falls in love with Pearl,Read More

Carmella reviews This Is How You Lose the Time War by Amal El-Mohtar and Max Gladstone
Trigger warning: mentions of suicide This novella was sold to me as “Virginia Woolf and Vita Sackville-West’s love letters, but in an enemies-to-lovers time travel agents au”. I’m not normally a big fan of SFF, but I couldn’t help but be intrigued by a pitch like that! Red and Blue are operatives fighting on oppositeRead More
Susan reviews éclair
éclair is ostensibly an anthology of lesbian romance manga, collecting stories whose protagonists range from primary school children learning about trust to young adults trying to juggle relationships and work. It’s got a generally high quality of art. However. There are perhaps sixteen stories included in this volume, and there’s maybe two that I wouldRead More
Danika reviews A Safe Girl to Love by Casey Plett
It’s not beautiful or brave or redemptive. It’s like a light case of mono that never goes away. I don’t want to brave. I want us to be okay. I’m having trouble writing this review, because I feel like I’m still processing this book. A Safe Girl to Love is a collection of short stories withRead More

Bee reviews A Love Story for Bewildered Girls by Emma Morgan
Sometimes you take a chance on a book, and it pays off in a weird, indefinable way. This is the only way I can describe my experience with A Love Story for Bewildered Girls by Emma Morgan. Actually, it turned me into the bewildered girl the book addresses in the title. I tacked it onRead More
Mary reviews Courting the Countess by Jenny Frame
I loved Downton Abbey. Was it a classist, heteronormative, and super white show? Yes, it was trash. But it was my trash. It was the kind of show that I loved not just for my engagement with the characters, but because of what could have been. One character in particular that kept me coming backRead More
