This book is a very complex one. I put off doing the review for a while, letting myself absorb the content fully. It’s only three hundred something pages, but the story within is heavy. It is about some very triggering content, including a suicide attempt, many references to people who have committed suicide, and descriptionsRead More
Danika reviews The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo by Taylor Jenkins Reid
Pick this book up. (I know you might not read the whole review, so I’ll start with that conclusion.) Evelyn Hugo was a movie star, someone with the kind of name recognition that Marilyn Monroe has now. But Evelyn Hugo is in her 80s now, well past retirement, and she’s finally ready to tell herRead More

Nichole B-Larson reviews Of Fire and Stars by Audrey Coulthurst
Of Fire and Stars by Audrey Coulthurst is the princess story my childhood desperately needed. Coulthurst’s characters are relatable, grow well, and their queerness isn’t the center of the plot–all aspects which make them inspiring. Mare is the strong, “tomboy” princess of my dreams. She shirks the traditional role of a princess within society andRead More
Whitney D.R. reviews Nameless Asterism Vol. 1 by Kina Kobayashi
Where was this manga when I was in middle school? Nameless Asterism is a yuri manga that focuses on middle schooler, Shiratori (center) and her best friends, Washio (left) and Kotooka (right). Shiratori is a soccer-loving tomboy who doesn’t have much experience in dating, unlike a lot of her classmates. Kotooka, however, is frilly andRead More
Ren reviews Caged by Destiny Hawkins
TW: PTSD, mental abuse, physical abuse, domestic abuse, gun violence, and mentions of sexual assault. At the beginning of the story, main character Rose is eight years old and recently abducted. Our antagonist Arnold runs a child fighting ring, and Rose makes him money. The details involving the collapse of the fighting racket, the rescueRead More
Shira Glassman reviews The Gift of Your Love by Kayla Bashe
The Gift of Your Love by Kayla Bashe is a good fit for anyone looking for woman-centered SFF, f/f without graphic sex scenes, or shorter queer fiction. Neely is a foreigner who only ended up in this city by accident — she traveled here with her merchant father as a child, but he ended up deadRead More
Megan Casey reviews The Girl in Gold by Beth Lyons
I recently received a couple of review copies of books in which the private investigator protagonist has paranormal powers. The first, Geonn Canon’s Underdogs, has its shape-shifting PI use her powers to do surveillance for a client in the first few pages. Perhaps I should have read on, but using paranormal powers to solve aRead More
Alexa reviews Tone of Voice by Kaia Sønderby
“Things on the inside get easy to see,” Xandri murmured, snuggling contentedly between us, “when you’re always on the outside.” Back in March, I finally read Failure to Communicate, a book that was recommended to me as #ownvoices autistic representation by an indie author. I wasn’t aware before reading the book that other than beingRead More
