Camp is a fun and summery book set at Camp Outland, a camp for queer teens, and does a great job of basically destroying toxic masculinity. Camp Outland is a place where queer teens are free to be themselves, away from the outside world where they might be hiding who they really are. The novel is […]
You Should See Me in a Crown brought me so much joy and delight in the few short hours that it took me to listen to the audiobook. It was the perfect mix of cute and fluffy, with some more serious themes of anxiety, chronic illness and homophobia. If you’re looking for a quick contemporary with […]
Only Mostly Devastated was such a cute and heartfelt contemporary novel about grief, family, friendship and identity. It was lighthearted and adorable, but also explored some complex and serious themes, including loss and sexual identity.
