As you may recall, I read Adaptation by Malinda Lo about a month ago and really, really enjoyed it. Easily one of the best YA I’ve ever read, nevermind queer YA. So I was excited to pick up and the next and final book in the duology (I originally thought it was a trilogy and wasRead More
Anna M reviews Frenemy of the People by Nora Olsen
Frenemy of the People is a YA novel by Nora Olsen, who wrote the YA science fiction novel Swans & Klons (also on my to be read list).

Rachel reviews Good Moon Rising by Nancy Garden
While most fans of lesbian literature will recognize Nancy Garden for her classic romance Annie on my Mind, there are still plenty of other books she has written that young lesbians can relate to.

Danika reviews The Summer I Wasn’t Me by Jessica Verdi
Before picking up The Summer I Wasn’t Me, I was in a bit of a reading slump. I just didn’t feel like reading anything. After reading the first couple sentences of this one, though, I was ready to give it a try. Instead, I read it in two days, impatiently waiting for when I could pickRead More
Ashley reviews The Difference Between You and Me by Madeleine George
Don’t judge this book by its cover – or by its title.

Emily is the preppy, intelligent, blondeRead More

Danika reviews Love In the Time of Global Warming by Francesca Lia Block
Love In the Time of Global Warming by Francesca Lia Block is a post-apocalyptic Fantasy teen re-telling of The Odyssey. Yes, it has a lot going on. The book is set decades in the future, but for the most part it seems like it could be current day. The main character, Penelope, has survived (so far)Read More
