Kiss Number 8 by Colleen AF Venable

4.0

So... this book, although being very, very well written, was a little bit too much for me to handle. Very bold and sudden transphobia from multiple characters, and a lot of scenes that made me uncomfortable as a lesbian, which to be fair, is probably kind of a goal of the book? Anyways, the art was steady and the script was overall very good. As a lover of coming of age stories, this one struck me as pretty average.
Also like, I expected way more religious trauma! Come on, she’s holding a cross on the cover! Where is the Catholic imagery!!!
It did leave me wanting more, I will say that.
