Tierney reviews Leah on the Offbeat by Becky Albertalli

July 25, 2018 by Danika Ellis

Leah Burke is spending her last year of high school trying to figure out where she fits in, and often feeling awkward about the fact that she marches to the beat of her own drum. She tells the story from her perspective in Leah on the Offbeat, Becky Albertalli’s not-quite-sequel to Simon vs. The HomoRead More

Quinn Jean reviews Reign of the Fallen by Sarah Glenn Marsh

July 22, 2018 by Danika Ellis

[this review contains minor spoilers and discusses depictions of violence and substance abuse in the novel, particularly in paragraph three] Reign of the Fallen is a refreshing and original addition to both the fantasy and the queer YA genres, a welcome departure from more formulaic and predictable novels that populate both areas. Sarah Glenn Marsh’sRead More

Genevra Littlejohn reviews The Unbinding of Mary Reade by Miriam McNamara

July 17, 2018 by Danika Ellis

“I’m livid every time I think about what Jimmy did to me, but you know what enrages me even more? How people started to think that he had a *right* to do what he did, and that I was the one who should be put in the pillory. That whole town needs to be burnedRead More

Danika reviews When Katie Met Cassidy by Camille Perri

July 16, 2018 by Danika Ellis

There has been a ton of buzz around When Katie Met Cassidy. Whenever I see this much attention being given to a sapphic book, of course my ears prick up. Let’s face it, queer women books don’t usually get much press outside of a handful of specialized sites (like this one!) When I read an article byRead More

Mallory Lass reviews the Alpennia Series by Heather Rose Jones

July 12, 2018 by Danika Ellis

The Alpennia Series never stopped surprising me and often put a smile on my face or pulled a laugh from my lips. The theme of “found family” runs through this series and gave me so many warm and fuzzy feelings. I’ve also wanted to give at least one or two of the characters in eachRead More
