Amazon Affiliate Link | Bookshop.org Affiliate Link When I heard that a queer Vietnamese American The Great Gatsby retelling was coming out, I immediately requested a review copy. I can’t resist sapphic retellings, especially literary ones. There’s one little hiccup to me reviewing this book, though: I’ve never read The Great Gatsby. I haven’t evenRead More

Amazon Affiliate Link | Bookshop.org Affiliate Link I couldn’t tell you why I started listening to Why Fish Don’t Exist.

Danika reviews One Last Stop by Casey McQuiston
Amazon Affiliate Link | Bookshop.org Affiliate Link “August believes in nothing except caution and a pocketknife.” I first have to establish that I never read Red, White, and Royal Blue.

Kayla Bell reviews Exciting Times by Naoise Dolan
In the bookish community, there is a divide between people who are character readers versus plot readers. Character readers need to read detailed, nuanced characters, while plot readers focus on an interesting, intricate plot. For the longest time, I thought I was a character reader.

Carolina reviews We Play Ourselves by Jen Silverman
Jen Silverman’s debut, We Play Ourselves, satirizes the contemporary art scene through the eyes of Cass, an embittered former drama wunderkind turned hapless millennial, as she uncovers the secrets behind an up-and-coming feminist documentary.

Danika reviews Zara Hossain Is Here by Sabina Khan
Zara Hossain is Here surprised me. This is a short book, and it’s written in a way that feels pared down to the essentials. When the story begins, Zara is experiencing Islamophobic harassment from the star football player at school, but she has a strong network and friends and family that supports her. This harassmentRead More
