Amazon Affiliate Link | Bookshop.org Affiliate Link I picked up Fresh when I was in a bit of a reading slump, and in the first few pages, I wasn’t sure what to think of it. It definitely has a distinct voice. It’s a first person point of view, and it sure sounds like a collegeRead More
Danika reviews I Kissed a Girl by Jennet Alexander
Amazon Affiliate Link | Bookshop.org Affiliate Link Lilah is a B-movie “scream queen,” semi-famous for her horror roles. Her latest is Scareodactyl, a cheesy dinosaur horror movie with buckets of fake blood. She’s been trained for stardom her whole life, and she’s found success in these movies–but secretly, she’s never even seen a horror movie,Read More
Danika reviews The Secret To Superhuman Strength by Alison Bechdel
Amazon Affiliate Link | Bookshop.org Affiliate Link Fun Home is one of my favourite books, which will come as a surprise to absolutely no one. It’s a deeply introspective graphic memoir about books, coming out, and lesbian books. What’s not to like? While Fun Home is suffused with literature references, though, Are You My Mother?Read More
Danika reviews The Legend of Auntie Po by Shing Yin Khor
Amazon Affiliate Link | Bookshop.org Affiliate Link This is a quiet, almost slice-of-life graphic novel about a 13-year-old queer Chinese American girl’s life at a logging camp.

Danika reviews Indestructible Object by Mary McCoy
Amazon Affiliate Link | Bookshop.org Affiliate Link Messy bisexuals, this one’s for you. ❤️ One of my favorite things to read about is flawed main characters. Characters who make mistakes–mistakes they really knew better than to make, but they did it anyways. I can’t stand negative reviews of books based on the protagonist having flaws,Read More

Amazon Affiliate Link | Bookshop.org Affiliate Link Eli and Anna know the routine. The cops come to the door in the middle of the night, Eli tries to look as young and adorable as possible, then Anna puts on eyeliner, grabs a beer from the fridge, and tries to sweet talk them into looking theRead More
Danika reviews The Chosen and the Beautiful by Nghi Vo
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
Danika reviews The Girl from the Sea by Molly Ostertag
Way back in 2016, I wrote a post for Book Riot called 5 Lesbian Mermaid Comics You Need to Read where I rounded up sapphic mermaid and selkie comics. There were far too few than I would like, but I was able to find a three page comic story from Molly Ostertag on tumblr aboutRead More
Danika reviews Why Fish Don’t Exist: A Story of Loss, Love, and the Hidden Order of Life by Lulu Miller
Amazon Affiliate Link | Bookshop.org Affiliate Link I couldn’t tell you why I started listening to Why Fish Don’t Exist. I must have heard it recommended somewhere, because it was on my audiobook app favorites list, so I gave it a try as something that looked entertaining, but didn’t seem like it would requite myRead More
Danika reviews Hani and Ishu’s Guide to Fake Dating by Adiba Jaigirdar
Amazon Affiliate Link | Bookshop.org Affiliate Link You might remember Adiba Jaigirdar from her previous book, The Henna Wars! This is another YA romance between two teenage girls of colour, set in Ireland, and I liked it even better than her debut. Humaira (“Hani”) and Ishita (“Ishu”) are the only two brown girls at theirRead More
