I started to review another book for this month, but I put that book down and picked up Black Girl Love instead, and I’m glad that I did. Black Girl Love is a series of fictional vignettes punctuated by the occasional poem. The poetry sets the tone for the author’s style, and the short stories are so vibrant inRead More

Danika reviews The Voting Booth After Dark by Vanessa Libertad Garcia

Danika reviews This One’s Going to Last Forever by Nairne Holtz
I wasn’t sure how to sum up This One’s Going to Last Forever, so here’s the blurb: This One’s Going to Last Forever reflects both the naïve optimism of those who have yet to learn about love — and the cynicism of those who feel that by now they should know better. Clara, a universityRead More
Danika reviews Queer View Mirror

Tulchinsky, and published by my very favourite publishing company (I am desperately wishing to one day work there), Arsenal Pulp Press. Queer View MirrorRead More
