Queen B’s Decree: Director’s Cut had potential. It has forced proximity with co-professors, queer angst, academia. It sounds like all the things I love! But I eventually realized the only parts I found interesting were when Val was teaching her class—the descriptions of the actual lecture—I realized this book maybe wasn’t for me. I felt […]
Queen B’s Decree: I struggled with this one. I just didn’t connect with our first FMC, Ellie. She’s Armenian, but basically is doing all she can to not be associated with her culture and heritage. An Americanized nickname, lives away from her family, works in tech, etc. She meets Vanya, another Armenian, at this big […]
Queen B’s Decree: Late Bloomer was a cute and fun read. Opal is kind of a spineless mess before she wins some money in the lottery and decides to buy a farm on Facebook Marketplace as a way to start over. She arrives and discovers the granddaughter (Pepper) of the late owner is still living […]
Queen B’s Decree: Pride and Prejudice in a title will suck me in every time (even though this book was not remotely related to P&P’s plot—I don’t care, will still read). And a queer romance? Count. Me. In. P&P&P was a cute and sweet time travel trope. Audrey is a high school senior in Pittsburgh […]
Queen B’s Decree: I didn’t really read the blurb before starting this one. I just knew I’d like it since Alison Cochrun wrote it. So I was a little surprised when Here We Go Again was less a story about romance and more a story of grief, regret, and acceptance. No big deal, just me […]
Queen B’s Decree: Sometimes I want a sweet and fluffy paranormal novella. And Lucky Cupid scratches that itch. Juliet is a newly-made cupid and just doesn’t seem to fit in. She’s not making matches, her bow and arrow skills are middling, and how can she create a love match if she hasn’t felt it herself? […]
Queen B’s Decree: There hasn’t ever been an Anita Kelly book that I haven’t loved, and How You Get the Girl doesn’t break that streak. Julie is a high school girl’s basketball coach, and one day her newest player’s foster mom walks in…and it’s the ex-WNBA player that was featured in the posters on he […]
Queen B’s Decree: I was pretty obsessed with this book. I think what I loved so much about this book was the combination of emotions evoked in me. It was funny, and heartbreaking, and sweet, and spicy, and I just couldn’t get enough. Beth and Gwen were fully fleshed characters, and I loved their progression […]
Queen B’s Decree: Holy inner monologues Batman. If you’re wanting to know the inner workings of two overthinking lesbians, Cleat Cute is for you. Overall, Cleat Cute was…cute (I make myself lol). There was a fun progression from coworkers to friends with benefits to lovers, with an interesting dynamic of the rookie versus veteran. Despite […]
Queen B’s Decree: The Society for Soulless Girls was an interesting concept: a dark, gothic, sapphic retelling of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde. I enjoyed the paranormal aspect, and the investigation into the mystery. Lottie and Alice were both very distinct and interesting characters, I felt their enemies-to-lovers romance to be very realistic. And man, […]
