Kiss Me, Maybe cover
Lesbrary Reviews

A Steamy Romance of Self-Discovery: Kiss Me, Maybe by Gabriella Gamez Review

May 6, 2025 by Danika Ellis

Angela Gutierrez is 27 years old and has never dated or kissed anyone. Part of the reason for that was her long journey to discovering her identity as an asexual lesbian, but now she’s embraced it, and she’s ready to experience some firsts. But she doesn’t just want to swipe through dating apps. Instead, sheRead More

A Must Read for Fans of Carmen Maria Machado: Sympathy for Wild Girls: Stories by Demree McGhee Review

May 5, 2025 by Danika Ellis

This is a collection of stories about queer Black women that is going to live in my head for a long time. The opening story is about a young woman who has been raised on stories about violence and murder of Black girls like her at the hands of men. She’s consumed by this narrative,Read More

Messy Perfect cover
Lesbrary Reviews

An Underground GSA at Catholic School: Messy Perfect by Tanya Boteju Review

April 1, 2025 by Danika Ellis

When Cassie was in elementary school, she made friends with Ben, a ballet dancer who seemed unrestrained by gender norms. They quickly became inseparable, and in the world they created together at the creek, Cassie began to face her own queerness—until they were caught by judgmental classmates, and Cassie betrayed Ben. He left for anotherRead More

Those Beyond the Wall cover
Lesbrary Reviews

Sci-Fi as Protest: Those Beyond the Wall by Micaiah Johnson

March 31, 2025 by Danika Ellis

I don’t think I’ve ever been so pulled into a novel by the dedication, author’s note, and epigraph. (The epigraph to Part One is “i did not come to preach of peace / for that’s not the hunted’s duty.” -Danez Smith.) In the author’s note, Johnson explains the inspiration behind this book coming from her time participating in the 62-day sit in at Nashville’s Tennessee State Capitol. I found myself writing down multiple quotations, including…

A/S/L cover
Lesbrary Reviews

The Heights and Depths of Queer Trans Nostalgia: A/S/L by Jeanne Thornton Review

March 28, 2025 by Danika Ellis

When Lilith, Sash, and Abraxa were teenagers in the late 90s, they ran a video game corporation together. They never actually sold a video game, but they worked on an incredibly ambitious text-based (ASCII) game together. Sash was the leader, the idea person who held everyone else to exacting standards. Lilith struggled to design gameRead More

Chain Gang All Stars cover
Lesbrary Reviews

An Open Wound of a Novel: Chain-Gang All-Stars by Nana Kwame Adjei-Brenyah Review

March 18, 2025 by Danika Ellis

This is a book I respect, and it’s one I struggled to get through. The subject matter is difficult—not only is it set in a near-future dystopia where prisoners fight each other to the death for a chance at freedom, but it also includes footnotes about the real-life atrocities of the prison-industrial complex. I canRead More

LSBN cover
Lesbrary Reviews

A Trans Lesbian Mech Romcom: Lsbn by Emma Jayne Review

March 14, 2025 by Danika Ellis

If you’re looking for a fun one-sitting read, why not pick up this trans lesbian “mech rom-com graphic novel,” as the blurb describes it? I feel like you’re already sold, but I’ll keep going anyway. LSBN is a project to develop a mech suit to battle the giant, monstrous aliens that have descended to Earth.Read More

The Cozy Wedding Coup: Tea You at the Altar by Rebecca Thorne

March 4, 2025 by Danika Ellis

Tea You at the Altar is the third book in the Tomes & Tea cozy fantasy series, and it follows Kianthe and Reyna as they plan their wedding… and possibly a coup. (This review contains spoilers for books one and two.) I really enjoyed Can’t Spell Treason Without Tea, but I thought the second bookRead More

Love Points to You cover
Lesbrary Reviews

A Sweet and Swoony YA Romance: Love Points to You by Alice Lin Review

February 28, 2025 by Danika Ellis

First of all, this is of my all-time favourite YA covers. It’s so adorable. And I’m happy to say that the story delivered. We’re following Lynda, a teenager who is devoted to getting into her dream art school. Unfortunately, her father just remarried and she now has to share a room with her stepsister, Josie.Read More

A Queer and Compassionate Foodie Manga Series: She Loves to Cook, and She Loves to Eat Vols 1-5 by Sakaomi Yuzaki Review

February 23, 2025 by Danika Ellis

We’ve recommended this sapphic manga series at the Lesbrary several times before, but that was when there were only a couple volumes out. I just finished volume five, and I needed to let you all know that it has only gotten better with time. She Loves to Cook, and She Loves to Eat is myRead More
