Queer Feels, Liberal World

4 stars

This gave me some Big Feels.

It's been a few years since I was on a big trans lit kick (Nevada, He Mele A Hilo, The Masker, Infect Your Friends and Loved Ones, a few others I can't recall the exact titles for rn), and I think I forgot what it feels like to feel queer resonance with a work.

The romance here, the descriptions of emotions, touches and responses to touch, intimacy, sex… there were many moments that I read through a film of tears. It felt Good.

But as the book wore on, some of the cracks around the edges started to feel more Significant. In particular, the politics of this world rang hollow for me, to the point of taking away from the rest of the plot some. It is extremely painful for me to watch queerness become deradicalised and more domesticated—more acceptable to cishet, patriarchal, Liberal …

Sapphic paranormal romance with some important messages

5 stars

I really enjoyed this book. It's a love story, but it's also a story about friendship, the LGBTQ+ rights movement, self-worth, breaking toxic patterns, and so on.

Every chapter is packed with information. There are lots of side plots along with the main one and there's no filler at all. This can be a little overwhelming since there are not many scenes to just breathe, so I'm glad that I took ten days to read this.

I recommend this book to anyone interested in LGBTQ fiction, you can tell there's a lot of heart in this, and it's hard because LGBTQ history is, but it's worth reading and it's necessary.

Sympathische, cheesy, spannende lesBische Butch/Femme Romanze

4 stars

Es lohnt sich, das Hörbuch (Berliner Bibs haben es) zu hören ohne vorher auch nur ein Wort über den Inhalt zu lesen um Spoiler zu vermeiden.

War das 1. Hörbuch das ich freiwillig gehört habe, da die Sprecherin nicht nervig oder monoton war, sondern wirklich angenehm. Die Story ist angenehm und inspirierend, wenn natürlich auch cheesy hoch drölf und voller Plotholes. Trotzdem eine sympathische, lesBIsche Butch/Femme Romanze mit vielen queeren Charas, Community und Detektiv_innen-Aspekt. Allein die ausführlichen Sexszenen hätte es für mich nicht gebraucht, auch wenn diese tatsächlich erfrischend wenig cringy waren.
