Mermaid in Chelsea Creek is yet another book I have been meaning to get into and the hype did not disappoint. This young adult fantasy book is set in Chelsea, Massachusetts and follows Sophia a teenage girl with Polish ancestry. Sophia and her best friend Ella like to play the pass-out game because it’s the onlyRead More
Megan Casey reviews The Other Side of Silence by Joan Drury
Tyler Jones is not the most social person in the world, so when she wins the Pulitzer Prize for journalism for a feature story about spousal abuse committed by members of the police force, she goes into semi-retirement, writing her newspaper columns from home. Because of her urgent concern about violence against women, she alsoRead More
Marthese reviews Silhouette of a Sparrow by Molly Beth Griffin
“Isabella was joy and excitement and adventure and everything else seemed dull in comparison” Silhouette of a Sparrow is set in 1920s America and follows the story of Garnet. I had been meaning to read it since it came out; the chapters of the book all feature a different bird which is a quirky conceptRead 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
Danika reviews Labyrinth Lost by Zoraida Cordova
Nothing says Happy Birthday like summoning the spirits of your dead relatives. 2016 is shaping up to be introducing the kind of LBPQ YA we’ve been waiting for. Between Georgia Peaches and Other Forbidden Fruit‘s YA lesbian romance with an unapologetically religious main character, Of Fire and Stars‘s fantasy story focusing on two princesses falling inRead More
Shira Glassman reviews Marian by Ella Lyons
One way to describe Marian by Ella Lyons is that it’s a kiddie version of Heather Rose Jones’s Daughter of Mystery — both are costume dramas featuring a traditionally feminine lesbian with a nurturing personality and a lesbian swordfighter living in a world where it’s not customary for women to participate in combat, both feature father figures who aRead More
Danika reviews You Know Me Well by Nina LaCour and David Levithan
This book is a romp. Ever since I read Boy Meets Boy, I’ve been looking for a queer women’s equivalent: a cotton candy book that, despite any issues it addresses, fills you with a sense of hope, warmth, and happiness. This book seems to do the trick quite nicely, and it’s no surprise that it’s cowrittenRead More
Katelyn reviews Unbearable Lightness: A Story of Loss and Gain by Portia de Rossi
When Portia de Rossi first released her memoir, I was just testing the waters of an eating disorder and six years past admitting to myself that I wasn’t straight. I desperately wanted to search the book for weight loss tips, but it had been described as so inspiring that I was afraid it would convinceRead More
Marthese reviews The Second Mango by Shira Glassman
She also picked up a mango, and then, after thinking about it for a moment, bought a second as well. The Second Mango is the first in the Mangoverse high-fantasy series. It felt so good to read fantasy again! Especially a book that I have been meaning to read for a while and now that theRead More
Megan Casey reviews Tarnished Gold by Ann Aptaker
I can’t think of a better time to post this review because Tarnished Gold—the second book in Aptaker’s Cantor Gold series—has just been named the co-winner of the 2016 Golden Crown Literary Award in the Mystery category. It was previously named co-winner of the Lambda Award, making it the only book ever to have wonRead More
