Georgia Peaches and Other Forbidden Fruit by Jaye Robin Brown

3.5

emotional hopeful reflective slow-paced

Plot or Character Driven: A mix

Strong character development: No

Loveable characters: Complicated

Diverse cast of characters: Complicated

Flaws of characters a main focus: Yes

This is a cute and cosy teen book accentuated with a forbidden sapphic romance. Our main characters are a good example of how you can be LGBTQ+ and still have Christian faith, demonstrating tolerance and acceptance. They show that growing up in a religious environment doesn’t always have to be painful or traumatic.

The book has the cute romance and dialogue on religion going for it- however I found the main characters decisions to be morally grey and felt they should have been held more accountable. I felt that outside of the romance and religious dialogue, there wasn’t a huge amount going for this book. It just needed a little bit ‘more’.
