Sapphic YA with Complicated Families
Here’s a trope I didn’t realize I loved in a YA novel: complicated families. Whether it’s an unusual family configuration, strained parent relationships, or long-lost siblings, I love seeing queer stories that explore all the different ways biological families can look.

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.

Carolina reads A Lesson in Vengeance by Victoria Lee
“Dark Academia” is a cultural trend sweeping Tumblr and Tiktok, an eclectic sub-community gauzed in stark, academic aesthetic and darkly gothic themes.
