Valerie Taylor’s Stranger on Lesbos is an example of classic pulp lesbian fiction. It was published in 1960, at the midpoint of the genre, and it seems like a really tropey example of it! Frances Ollenfield escaped a childhood of abuse and poverty into a marriage that is slowly becoming more and more loveless asRead More
Julie Thompson reviews Flinging It by G. Benson
Flinging It mixes pleasure and pain, levity and heartache, discomfort and freedom, as the protagonists, Cora and Frazer, fumble their way forward (and backward). The romance, set in Perth, Australia, is light and fun, but is also an emotional rollercoaster. I tried to keep certain plot points vague, but this review may seem sort ofRead More

Lauren reviews The Size of the World by Ivana Skye
In The Size of the World, Theia is intent on traveling across her world until she reaches the Darkness. She travels across many lands, lands where people welcome, help, and feed her without prompts; where people eat fallen stars; where walls are icy-hot and made of waterfalls; where goods and services can be paid forRead More
Danika reviews Juliet Takes a Breath by Gabby Rivera
I don’t usually buy new releases. I acquire so many books that I tend to stick to used books and the library for new acquisitions. But when the reviews for Juliet Takes a Breath began to pour in, I couldn’t resist! I bought it brand new and moved it to the corner of my dresser, readyRead More
Kathryn Hoss reviews Juliana by Vanda
Juliana is actually the story of Alice Huffman, “Al” for short, a small-town girl who moves to the Big Apple in the 1940s to pursue a musical and acting career. She ends up spending very little time working on said career, and more time alienating her friends while having a constant, back-and-forth existential crisis aboutRead More
Danika reviews SuperMutant Magic Academy by Jillian Tamaki
I read most of SuperMutant Magic Academy when it come out in webcomic form, but I’d heard that the collected version added content to make it into a more continuous story, and it had been a while since I first read the comics. The comics themselves are just how I remember them: irreverent, funny, and justRead More
Cara reviews Dynama by Ruth Diaz
Dynama deftly juxtaposes superpowers around the main romance and both good and bad family relationships. The characterization and dialog make the story, and while not without weaknesses, it offers a satisfying arc despite its novella length. The first scene introduces TJ Gutierrez using her telekinetic powers to help take down a cyborg shark asRead More
Kathryn Hoss reviews Not Your Sidekick by C. B. Lee
Five words: lesbian, bisexual, and trans superheroes. Wait, I think I need a few more. Lesbian, bisexual, and trans superheroes taking on the kyriarchy, falling in love, and just… being kids. Jessica Tran doesn’t fit in. I know, not the most original premise. But along with all the normal crap teenagers worry about– mediocre gradesRead More
Jess reviews Southern Girl by Renée J. Lukas
Southern Girl by Renée J. Lukas is an engaging portrait of a girl (and her family) from before birth through to the start of adulthood. The novel begins with a brief snapshot of the protagonist’s parents: Carolyn, a New England lobster fisherman’s daughter and Dan, a Southern preacher’s protégé arriving at their ‘together’ house inRead More
