The back copy of Nevada Barr’s Bittersweet promised me a truthful, accurate portrayal of two women living together in the 1800s West. Imogene, a spinster teacher, is forced from her job in the East when her secret affair with a female student is revealed. She ends up in small Pennsylvania farming town, where she starts a friendshipRead More
Danika reviews Call Me Softly D. Jackson Leigh
I’ve got to tell you, I am perhaps unreasonably impressed by this book. I’ve been reading a lot of self-published lesbian fiction, and I’m sorry to say that that often lowers the bar. Besides, Call Me Softly even corrects some common published lesfic annoyances, in that it has a plot unrelated to the romance. ARead More
Nichole reviews Scarcity by Kate Genet
Scarcity by Kate Genet is the short story of a painter, Teresa, and her relationship with a much younger girl, Scarcity. Within the first few pages Genet gives a good description of the artist, but the reader still has’t really gotten a clear picture of who the main character is yet. She seems to beRead More

Laura Mandanas reviews “Gigglepuss” by Giselle Renarde
I have to say: I was a bit concerned when, four paragraphs in, the main love interest was characterized as a “Japanese anime schoolgirl.” (Like, really people. Can we just stop with the racist Asian exotification and extraordinarily sleazy fetishization of teenage girls? That would be great.) Normally I would have stopped reading there, butRead More
Danika reviews The Gifted Ones by Lisa Vaughn
I think I might be a little burnt out on self-published books. The problem is that I always have the same problems with them, and almost all of those problems can be summed up with “not enough editing.” The Gifted Ones (a memoir), unfortunately, fits in that category. The typos are numerous, including two onesRead More
