It's trying so hard to be like Gone Girl or Tampa, but doesn't have the needed spark to make it work.

I liked the unexpected horror of this book (in the beasts appearance and body horror elements towards the end), but the romance didn't grasp me. I'm happy I stuck with it, but it just wasn't my read. The beginning is pretty slow, and then it picks up pace to about a light jog. Just not my usual type of read.

I did not expect to like this as much as I did. An erotica with a heart. The writing is excellent (might have to actually use my kindle to read her other books) and I was so glad twitter recommended this to me!

If you loved Legends and Lattes, but wished there was a deeper relationship between the love interests and a bookshop, this is the book for you. It's adorable, has a bit more tension than L&L, and the paperback has a nice blue sprayed edge (I am a sucker for a sprayed edge). I am so excited to read the next one when it comes out in October! This is definitely a warm hug on a cold winters day.

This is a fun snapshot in the life type of comic. Very much a one shot, but its a good cleansing read.
informative
slow-paced
So the information in this book is pretty base level, giving a very brief overview of queer characters and people through history. The first half focuses mainly on the greeks, and then the second is a mishmash of different cultures. It felt super long, and is a good jumping off point, but don't expect anything indepth.

I haven't read the original story that this is adapted from, but I really enjoyed this one. I found it to be the perfect length, and you could figure out what was going on if you payed even half attention.

I liked this story well enough. It could be a bit confusing at times. I will say I ran into the same problem with a lot of translated books, it felt like a piece of it was missing. Like there's some cultural aspect I'm not tuning into, making me feel a but disconnected. Overall though, a good read.
