Rachel reviews Our Wives Under the Sea by Julia Armfield
Amazon Affiliate Link | Bookshop.org Affiliate Link Stunning, poignant, and totally unputdownable, Julia Armfield’s debut novel Our Wives Under the Sea (Picador 2022) is one of my favourite queer novels of 2022! Our Wives Under the Sea is a dual-perspective narrative that follows both Miri and her wife Leah. Miri’s chapters narrate Leah’s return from a deep-sea missionRead More
Danika reviews Acts of Service by Lillian Fishman
I think that first I have to get the thing I want, and maybe then I can figure out why I wanted it, or whether it’s good. This was a frustrating reading experience. The main problem I had was that the questions it raised were ones I’m invested in, and conversations I want to seeRead More
Danika reviews The Very Nice Box by Laura Blackett and Eve Gleichman
Amazon Affiliate Link | Bookshop.org Affiliate Link I will say I think this book works best if you go in without a ton of information, so if you’re up for a kind of weird slowly unfolding character-based queer story, I highly recommend checking this out sight unseen. I listened to it as an audiobook andRead More

Danika reviews A Dream of a Woman: Stories by Casey Plett
Amazon Affiliate Link | Bookshop.org Affiliate Link Casey Plett is the kind of author I love and dread reading, because she so skillfully can break your heart. Her stories are beautiful, bittersweet, and achingly honest about the little ways we support and fail each other. My first experience reading Plett’s work was in chapbook form:Read More
Shannon reviews Honey Girl by Morgan Rogers
Amazon Affiliate Link | Bookshop.org Affiliate Link Contemporary romance isn’t always my genre of choice. I often struggle to identify with the characters and the situations in which they manage to embroil themselves, and to be quite honest, I was a little worried about this when I first picked up Morgan Rogers’s Honey Girl. ItRead More

Danika reviews Milk Fed by Melissa Broder
There are some books–very rarely–that I read and form such a personal attachment to that I don’t want to share them with the world. This is one of them. I picked it up based on the fact that it was queer and had a blurb from Carmen Maria Machado; that was about all I knewRead More
