A review by finallyfinnian
Backcast by Ann McMan

5.0

This book is incredibly well-written. The characters and their odd relationship dynamics may seem strange to some, but having been in large lesbian circles, they seem real and messy and awkward and beautiful to me. This book has a fish as a character and yes, Phoebe is believable, and no, I don't think any author but Ann McMan could have pulled off something so weird without it being... you know... weird. The interspersed essays are brilliant. This book needs more than one read, but you won't mind. Read it once just for the enjoyment and then a second time to chew on it, to figure out things you missed in the first reading.
