Kalyanii reviews Harley Loco: A Memoir of Hard Living, Hair, and Post-Punk, from the Middle East to the Lower East Side by Rayya Elias
After stumbling upon the announcement of Elizabeth Gilbert’s coming out last month, l thought I’d key a quick Google search in order to become acquainted with the woman who’d rocked her world.

Bessie reviews Modern Lovers by Emma Straub
I really enjoyed this novel. I like comfortable domestic novels, but far too often they’re overwhelmingly straight. This was not.

That one of the couplesRead More

Stephanie reviews The Dawn of Nia
I’m always hesitant to read books by people that I know personally, because I know at some point they’ll ask me what I thought, and I know that if I don’t love it, I’ll have to figure out how to say that without ruining the relationship. In this case, I can say without reservation thatRead More
