I don't know how this was Tracy's debut. An immaculate story that grips you and never lets you go.

Lesbian Lumberjack by Kitty Jones
Did not finish book. Stopped at 16%.

why are you going to name the book lesbian lumberjack then have the aforementioned lesbian lumberjack be deeply uncomfortable with the term lesbian?????????

Ballerina and bad boy? Shirking oppressive family responsibilities? Short and not so sweet? Car s*x? Jade has never led me astray and I don't see her starting now. If you want a good time, not a long time, and just enough of a twist to make you gasp and almost forget you're promised your HEA so you panic just a bit but then everything is okay? This is for you bb!

Thank you Jade for my arc!!

The Next Best Fling by Gabriella Gamez

I don’t why this took me so long to get to! Maybe cause Marcella and I are way too similar?? I loved this I just wish there was a smidge less of the self doubt and a smidge more of Theo changing his perspective on the page.

A wonderful debut and I’m thrilled we’re getting more from her!

Thanks Forever for my advanced copy!

This was such a great time start to finish. I had no idea where this was going but if I trust anyone to deliver absurdity with heart, humor, and heat it's Kimberly Lemming.

a sapphic slow burn for the ages

Sounds Fake But Okay: An Asexual and Aromantic Perspective on Love, Relationships, Sex, and Pretty Much Anything Else by Sarah Costello, Kayla Kaszyca

A great primer on the a-spec! Love how they broke down the different facets as well as showed how they overlap. They admitted where their knowledge lacked as cis-white women and made sure to include as many intersectional perspectives as they could!

Unnecessary HP references 😭
