Be Gay, Do Crime by Kristel Emma Buckley, Molly Llewellyn

2.75

Oh no, I hated this one - sorry, Mols!

My two favorite stories from this collection are ones that had been previously published in other collections (the ones by Myriam LaCroix and Aurora Mattia). There were a lot of these stories where I simply had no idea what was going on. There was also a surprising lack of crime... I joked several times while reading that this would've been more appropriately titled as "Be Gay, Be Messy." Most of these stories center weird gay women being weird and cringe. There was also a surprising lack of diversity to the queerness in this book; the stories almost solely center cisgender sapphic women. In short, I liked what this collection was trying to do more than I liked what it actually accomplished (sorry again, Mols!).

Thanks to my love Lanelle for reading aloud to and with me <3
