A review by shanayaareads
Serpentine Valentine by Giana Darling
3.0
I don’t really have much to compare this to, in terms of sapphic romances. But as far as Giana Darling books go, this was one was great. Not the easiest sapphic romance to start with, but still a good read.
The subject matter, I think might be triggering for some individuals, so reading with caution is super important here, but I think Lex & Luna’s story, trauma aside was adorable.
I definitely enjoyed it. Still, i can recognize that there were moments with the dialogue seemed outright pretentious and weird ie. Lex saying she tastes like “salted pasta water…” really?
There are also glaring plot issues, like Lex & Luna both being daughters of women who were supposedly best friends & somehow having never met, Beckett getting away with assaulting Luna & the fact that Lex is covered in snakes and the symbol for the vigilante group being snakes, yet nobody seemed to put it together.
In any case, I think the story was enjoyable despite its dark themes and slight faults. Even if you couldn’t relate to Lex’s trauma per se, the feminine rage here was real and i think we’ve all been there at some point or other.
