I love, love, love reading about love. That is what I do best. Reading and writing about people falling in love... Here I will post reviews on books about love, about romance, about LGBTQIA. Sometimes there will be full-length, publish-worthy reviews. Sometimes the posts will be slightly this side of a literary rant. If you have any recommendations for me, please, reach out.

We Contain Multitudes
"We Contain Multitudes" by Sarah Henstra was spectacular. Spec. Tac. Ular.
Amazing. It tackled so many issues too (trigger warnings here). Sexuality. Sex. Familial abuse. Drug use/abuse. Bullying. Alcohol use. War zones. PTSD.
But SO so good. I loved it. I freaking love it. Go read it. It was amazing.
And did I mention that the whole thing was written in letter form? #experimentalforms
["Jonathan Hopkirk and Adam "Kurl" Kurlansky are partnered in English class, writing letters to one another in a weekly pen pal assignment. With each letter, the two begin to develop a friendship that eventually grows into love. But with homophobia, bullying, and devastating family secrets, Jonathan and Kurl struggle to overcome their conflicts and hold onto their relationship...and each other."]
