“Let the sea take it.” The Gloaming begins with jellyfish washing up near a cliff by the sea, on an island where the residents die slow deaths by turning to stone. It’s a sad, strange and beautiful scene, just one of many sprinkled throughout this novel. Our protagonist is Mara, who falls in love with Pearl,Read More
Carmella reviews This Is How You Lose the Time War by Amal El-Mohtar and Max Gladstone
Trigger warning: mentions of suicide This novella was sold to me as “Virginia Woolf and Vita Sackville-West’s love letters, but in an enemies-to-lovers time travel agents au”. I’m not normally a big fan of SFF, but I couldn’t help but be intrigued by a pitch like that! Red and Blue are operatives fighting on oppositeRead More
Bee reviews A Love Story for Bewildered Girls by Emma Morgan
Sometimes you take a chance on a book, and it pays off in a weird, indefinable way. This is the only way I can describe my experience with A Love Story for Bewildered Girls by Emma Morgan. Actually, it turned me into the bewildered girl the book addresses in the title. I tacked it onRead More

Danika reviews Moonstruck, Vol. 1: Magic to Brew
I adored this book when I started it. The pastel colours, the adorable art style, the world packed full of magical people of all varieties (living plants! ghosts! centaurs!), and the coffee shop setting. Then you get a f/f romance between two fat poc werewolves (Selena is Black and Julie is Latina)! It also hasRead More
Danika reviews Top Ten by Katie Cotugno
I’ll get this out of the way first: Top Ten is about Gabby and Ryan: their unexpected friendship, and their constant will-they, won’t-they. It starts on the night of their graduation, when their complex friendship gains a whole other complication, and then describes the “top ten” moments of their friendship, not in chronological order. This isRead More
Megan G reviews Tell Me Again How a Crush Should Feel by Sara Farizan
Leila knows she’ll never be what her parents want her to be. She doesn’t want to be a doctor (she isn’t even good at science), she has little interest in sports, and she has no plans to marry a Persian man. In fact, she doesn’t plan on marrying a man at all. These all thingsRead More
