Patience and Not-Forsaken
by Alix E. Harrow
This was gay and I loved it. OMG.
I came for the appeal of Alix E. Harrow (I haven't started The Ten Thousand Doors of January yet), but stayed for the queerness, the story, and a redemption arc.
Patience Gravely is "difficult," it's the 1950s and she's sassy. She loves Wonder Woman and knows that she's hard to put up with for her father. When he inherits Gravely House, Patience's doctor suggests that the open country air would be good for calming her disposition. However there's something lurking in Gravely House's mirrors.
Patience meets a girl in her mirror without a name so Patience lets her have one of hers, dubbing her Not-Forsaken. Over the years, Not-Forsaken keeps Patience company as she navigates her teenage years and falling in love with her classmate, Lori.
First loves end as they do and we reach the climax, which I'll leave you to hopefully discover. I greatly enjoyed the redemption arc through the story, sometimes I want a bit of a harsher ending, but I will still be pleased by a happy one.
