First, thanks to Henry Holt & Company, Jenny Fran Davis, and NetGalley for an eARC of this book in exchange for my honest thoughts and feels.

Dykette follows Sasha and Jesse, a couple who join two other queer couples on a ten-day holiday at a country home. Things get heated when the couples' motivations and desires start to come to a head, and a web of infatuation and jealousy emerges. Davis does a fantastic job writing out the way sometimes our lives together can be little more than a game of cat and mouse.

Of course I am also so glad for more books written for queer readers by a queer author. I never felt Davis shy away from nuanced (some new to me as well!) aspects of queer identity and culture, as the plot of Dykette explores themes like kink, relationships, and consent in a way that feels intimate. Although for me, this was only toeing the line of relatable, I still appreciated and was engrossed by the new perspective.

Something that did stick out to me after reading is that I didn't feel that several of the plot points that were introduced were ever fleshed out enough for me (Miranda's "bad patient" her twitter beef, the Jules/Sasha dynamic, more, more, more). I felt this book had the potential to knock it out of the park by coming to a head several times, but instead it would fizzle a bit and go another direction. Despite this, I loved Dykette and this subsection of queer literature, and I highly recommend it to anyone looking for something new and wholly unique!
