A Place of Our Own: Six Spaces That Shaped Queer Women's Culture

June Thomas

5.0

informative inspiring reflective medium-paced

This was a really excellent novel about third spaces for Queer women and how vital they have been throughout history and how they continue to evolve and grow. I especially appreciated the acknowledgment of how some lesbians exclude trans folks from these spaces. Overall I loved this and definitely consider it an essential read.

MAXIM AND MARY HAVE MY ENTIRE HEART 😭

Mary is stubborn and kind and just so damn lovable, I adored her. And Maxim?? He is down BAD for her from the beginning. He’s just so pathetically in love with her it makes me sick, I loved it. Kath’s writing style just makes my brain so happy. It’s fast paced, fun, spicy, and full of great romantic moments. She is definitely one to watch! This book, much like A Love Most Fatal, is such a unique and stellar addition to mafia romance. I’m frothing at the mouth for her next book already!

Strong character development: Yes

Loveable characters: Yes

Diverse cast of characters: Yes

Ok first of all, I think this might be my favorite of J. S.’s books so far! Frankie was by far my favorite character when she was first introduced in Spring Awakening, so it’s no surprise that I loved her book this much honestly. She’s such a genuinely sweet and lovable character, and getting her love story made me SO happy. And Jasmine?? The minute I met her I was down bad just like Frankie. Her confidence and love of Frankie just MELTED my heart. Every time she called her “my girl” I was giggling and kicking my feet. Frankie & Jasmine are everything to me and I loved every minute I spent with them!

Also, I am not the biggest fan of third person POV, but somehow the was J. S. writes it is just so well done?? I’ll eat up anything she writes at this point honestly.
