With images of Netflix’s Orange is the New Black fresh in mind, I was immediately drawn to After the Night by Rachel Dax (I admit I mainly associated the two because of lesbians and a women’s prison). Set in Berkshire, England in 1960, Dax takes us to Deepdown women’s prison where Leah Webster begins workingRead More
Ashley reviews The Difference Between You and Me by Madeleine George
Don’t judge this book by its cover – or by its title. While The Difference Between You and Me sounds like your typical novel about an unlikely high school pair, fear not – Madeleine George’s uniquely realistic teenage voice makes this book stand out among its queer YA companions. Emily is the preppy, intelligent, blondeRead More
Tag reviews The Persecution of Mildred Dunlap by Paulette Mahurin
Before my full review, I want to give everyone some content warnings for this novel. If rape makes you queasy, this might be a book to avoid; doubly so if rape of young girls drives you away from a book. Two of the characters, one of them a main character, are sexually assaulted at extremelyRead More

Jess reviews Coal To Diamonds by Beth Ditto (with Michelle Tea)

I’ll be honest, I went into Coal To Diamonds with no expectations. I didn’t know about the band The Gossip (sorry fans),Read More
Danika reviews On Loving Women by Diane Obomsawin
On Loving Women is a graphic novel made up of several short stories. The artwork is all done in the style of the cover: simple, clear illustrations depicting all the characters as animals. Each story is short, and most of them don’t have an arc. They are just snippets from their lives. Basically, althoughRead More
Kalyanii reviews Imperial Hotel by Diane Marina
Rare is the romance that speaks to the journey of two lovers as they grow fully into themselves just as they merge into one another; yet, that is precisely what Diane Marina offers within Imperial Hotel, a novelette that takes the reader on the most intimate of journeys, lingering in eternal moments of innocence andRead More
Casey reviews Excluded by Julia Serano
I was pretty eager when I picked up writer, performer, and activist Julia Serano’s latest book, Excluded: Making Queer and Feminist Movements More Inclusive. I had read her first book, Whipping Girl: A Transsexual Woman on Sexism and the Scapegoating of Femininity back when it came out, and thought it was totally mind-blowing and soRead More
