Danika reviews M+O 4EVR by Tonya Cherie Hegamin
This book was not what I thought it was going to be. It’s a young adult novel, and it’s only 165 pages long, but it’s not a light read. Because this is such a short book, I feel like it’s easy to spoil, so I’ll keep the description short. This is about O (Opal), who’sRead More
Literary LesBian Starter Kit: LesBian Teen Edition
I’ve always thought that coming out should be received with, at the least, a gift basket. We’re inundated with straight cis norms, culture, history, and media from birth, but finding the queer equivalents takes some searching, and it can be daunting without a field guide. As anyone who has gone searching for lesbian movies So thisRead More
Audrey reviews Desire Lines by Jack Gantos
Desire Lines is a slim little outlier volume from Jack Gantos. He’s known for his Joey Pigza middle-grade novels and his quasi-autobiographical middle-to-teen novels, and even for his early readers starring Rotten Ralph. Desire Lines falls into the Lesser-Known Gantos bucket, which also includes Love Curse of the Rumbaughs, which is to Jack Gantos asRead More

Danika reviews The House You Pass On the Way by Jacqueline Woodson
You may have heard of Jacqueline Woodson from her recent win of the National Book Award for Brown Girl Dreaming, but you might not know about some of her older books, or that she’s written lesbian books. The House You Pass On the Way has been on my radar (and my shelves) for a long time, butRead More
Rachel reviews Scars by Cheryl Rainfield
[trigger warning for cover: cutting, blood] Lesbian author Cheryl Rainfield presents a gripping and compassionate novel about a teenage girl trying to move on from horrible traumas, and at the same time, find true love. That novel is Scars. Fifteen year old Kendra Marshall, a bright, talented artist, had a childhood full of sexual abuse.Read More
Audrey reviews The Story of Owen: Dragon Slayer of Trondheim by E.K. Johnston
“It’s literally about corporate dragon slaying.” The book was put into my hands. Because I have sent many, many books home with this young person, I took this one home and began reading it. This is a wonderful YA fantasy/alternate history title that had great reviews and for good reason. It has an awesome premise.Read More
Ashley reviews Forgive Me If I’ve Told You This Before by Karelia Stetz-Waters
Forgive me if I am entirely naïve, but before reading this book, I did not give much thought to the fact that Oregon was once cruel and unwelcoming to its lesbian and gay residents. In 1989, however, Triinu is living in a town set on passing Ballot Measure 9, and it seems like more residentsRead More
