Audrey reviews Femme by Mette Bach
Femme is a nice little YA coming-out novel. It’s told by Sofie, who eventually identifies as a femme (I’m not giving anything away by saying this, seriously), and involves Clea, who fits, as Sofie’s boyfriend Paul says, “the classic jock lesbo stereotype.” Femme is safe to add to school collections (the publisher recommends it forRead More
Amanda Clay reviews About a Girl by Sarah McCarry
There are more things in Heaven and Earth than are dreamed of in our philosophy. Tally is a girl who knows a lot about heaven. She knows a lot about a lot of things and she doesn’t care who knows it. She has her future mapped out: a degree in physics, then a career inRead More
Marthese reviews Pegasi and Prefects (Scholars and Sorcery #1) by Eleanor Beresford
“I take my questions and shining little badges with me” Keeping in line with my recent reviews, I read another short fantasy book. This time, I read Pegasi and Prefects which is the first in the Scholars and Sorcery series. I found it to be a somewhat good introduction but it focuses more on theRead More
Amanda Clay reviews Femme by Mette Bach
Knowledge is power. Sofie, however, has always felt pretty powerless, at least when it comes to academics. She enjoys school—playing soccer and hanging out with her cute, popular boyfriend Paul. And even though she and her single mom don’t have a lot of extra money, their home is loving and stable. But now, closeRead More
Rachel reviews Tell Me Again How A Crush Should Feel by Sara Farizan
For fans of lesbian chick-lit, Tell Me Again How A Crush Should Feel by Sara Farizan is a funny, entertaining read, and delves into what it is like to be a lesbian of color. Leila Azadi, a high school junior at Armstead Academy, is Iranian-American; the only one in her school, in fact. Most ofRead More
Danika reviews Lost Boi by Sassafras Lowrey
I don’t even know where to start in describing how much I loved this. I am tempted to just tell you “This is a queer punk retelling of Peter Pan.” If that intrigues you (as it did me), don’t hesitate. It will be all you dreamed of and more. And if that doesn’t interest you–ifRead More
Rachel reviews The Year They Burned the Books by Nancy Garden
Nancy Garden, author of the classic Annie on my Mind, wrote another poignant novel about lesbians. This time, she touched on controversy about homosexuality, censorship, and free speech. The Year They Burned The Books is that novel. Published in 1999, this story still rings true today about how far censorship and prejudice can go. TheRead More
Danika reviews Autobiography of a Family Photo by Jacqueline Woodson
I recently read my first Jacqueline Woodson book, The House You Pass On the Way, and really enjoyed it. I was expecting Autobiography of a Family Photo–same author, similar size, both with queer content–to have a lot in common with that book, but this turned out to be a completely different reading experience. Autobiography of a FamilyRead More
Rachel reviews Ash by Malinda Lo
Anyone into lesbians living in a fantasy/medieval world should pick up this Cinderella retelling, Ash by Malinda Lo. Having read it twice, I’m very impressed with the details and the culture of this beautiful novel. In a fantasy world, young Aisling “Ash” has lost her mother. Before she can properly grieve, her father leaves onRead More
