The story begins with Emma reading diary entries written by her love, Clementine. Although Clementine has passed, her memories are very much alive. ClementineRead More
Danika reviews Lizzy & Annie by Casey Plett
Lizzy & Annie by Casey Plett is an illustrated short story bound zine-style. It follows a romance between two trans women in New York City and it’s pretty much perfect. When I heard about about the premise of Lizzy & Annie (trans lesbians story? trans lesbians of colour? written by a trans woman? with gorgeous watercolour illustrations??), IRead More

Danika reviews Inheritance by Malinda Lo [Spoiler-Free for Adaptation!]
As you may recall, I read Adaptation by Malinda Lo about a month ago and really, really enjoyed it. Easily one of the best YA I’ve ever read, nevermind queer YA. So I was excited to pick up and the next and final book in the duology (I originally thought it was a trilogy and wasRead More

Kalyanii reviews Emily’s Art and Soul by Joy Argento
While a novel may entertain, inspire or even frustrate, there is something profound about a work that leaves us with enough insight into the human condition that we are able to forgive the author for elements of its execution that fall short of expectations. At the outset, I would not have imagined this would haveRead More
