achei que os contos tem todos a mesma voz, não parecem personagens diferentes. também não tem profundidade emocional, pela maior parte, só esboços de uma história

Brazil. A collection of short stories, all around lesbian relationships and love. A book at least doubly removed from my lived experience, but written with heart. Took a bit of time to get into them, and they weren't too compelling, but written with a good voice

3,5- Talvez minhas expectativas atrapalharam o processo da leitura, mas tinha algo que me incomodava no jeito que a autora finalizava os contos. Parecia que a história estava se desenvolvendo e então, abruptamente, acabava. Sei que a proposta de histórias em formato de contos é não se estender, mas, mesmo assim, isso atrapalhou bastante. De qualquer forma, reconheço a importância desse livro, principalmente para mulheres que buscam se sentir representadas. Espero que essa obra seja uma semente para as próximas histórias escritas por autoras lésbicas brasileiras.
