TW: self harm, violence against women, sexual assault ‘Beautiful’ does not even begin to encompass the captive, rhythmic style Ariel Gore possesses. I found it difficult to read quickly despite it being a relatively short work; every few pages there would be a line simple in structure but devastating in truth. I would be leftRead More

Danika reviews The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo by Taylor Jenkins Reid
Pick this book up. (I know you might not read the whole review, so I’ll start with that conclusion.) Evelyn Hugo was a movie star, someone with the kind of name recognition that Marilyn Monroe has now. But Evelyn Hugo is in her 80s now, well past retirement, and she’s finally ready to tell herRead More

Marthese reviews Time Will Tell by M. Ullrich
‘’One hundred and fifty steps was all it took for her life to get worse’’ Through Netgalley sometimes we find really good reads! I did not know what to expect. I half chose this book because of its cover, but it was fantastic! If you could undo the past and start anew, would you? TimeRead More

Anna Marie reviews Small Beauty by jia qing wilson-yang
[The book and this review (although briefly) has these content warnings: transmisogyny, transphobic physical assault, death/grief] I read this book in one day and it was the best decision! Like the ghosts/people who resurface throughout the novel I have felt its presence ebb in and out of my consciousness as I go about my lifeRead More

Danika reviews Queens of Geek by Jen Wilde
This. Was. Adorable. I was between rating this 4 stars or 5, but I couldn’t think of anything that I would change about it to improve it, so I guess that makes it an automatic 5 stars! Queens of Geek follows two point of view characters, Charlie and Taylor, as well as their friend Jamie.Read More
