Genuinely witty writing meets exploration of queer identity meets 2000s pop culture analysis. If you're a queer millennial/zillennial you'll probably have a good time.

If it takes several tries to have a good first date with someone, you shouldn't be dating that person.

This book made me think a bunch about bi visibility and how despite bisexuality being pretty common, it slips between the cracks of default heterosexuality and queer visibility. I've been to many sapphic events where even though intellectually I know there are bi folks there, the feeling is that I'm a lone bisexual fraud surrounded by lesbians. Similarly in more traditional spaces like at work, it can feel like I am the only queer person surrounded exclusively by straight folks even though mathematically that isn't likely either. It's hard to code as bisexual and that keeps us invisible and separate. Not sure what the answer to that problem is but it's definitely worth thinking about more.

I was in a slump and this was the perfect reminder that reading is FUN. Sarina Bowen thank you for your service, please write 100 more gay hockey books.

Twice as long as it should be, with twice as many characters and half as much plot as it should have.

Heavy on gothic horror and feminine rage, light on lesbianism. So not a great match for my interests but I can appreciate the quality execution.
