Firstly, I’d like to thank NetGalley, the author, and the publisher for giving me a free e-ARC of Samson and Domingo.
One thing I love about queer novels is when the queer characters are openly queer and they live in a world without homophobia. For a retelling of Samson and Delilah, I didn’t really expect that to be an element in the book. However, it was. Not only that, but Samson and Domingo were both so sweet and loving too.
I don’t really read books in verses, so this is rather a new thing for me. And I think I kind of like it. If there’s something that I’d like to change in this book, I’d want to know how Samson and Domingo first met each other and the development of their relationship. Stable relationships are so comforting to read about, but I want a background, too.
Other than that, I don’t have anything else to say. If you’re looking for something cute and short to read, I highly recommend this.
