This book is everything and we need more books liked Outdrawn!
Deanna Grey knocked it out of the park with Outdrawn. It’s so refreshing to see black lesbians front and center in a story that’s this heartfelt and gripping. Representation like this is so important, and Grey does it justice in the best way.
Did it have a major coming out story? No.
Did it have family abandonment due to coming out? No.
Did that make the story less queer? No.
The characters felt so real, the romance was beautifully done, and the story plucked all the right emotional heart strings. I thoroughly enjoyed their banter and slow-burn since it made the spicy scenes between the two MCs worthwhile even though they were sparse!
May this type of love find me forever and always.
