march '24 favs:

• those who leave and those who stay & the story of the lost child ; elena ferrante — the final two books in the neapolitan novels, a tetrology recording the lives of two girls in naples from childhood to old age. gutting, beautiful, layered, and complex. this series is a masterpiece, elena ferrante is everything to me <3 (please read it!!)

• sirens and muses by antonia angress — following an array of characters at an art university as they navigate life, work, academia, relationships, and being an artist in a capitalist world where everything is commodified. the depth of characters paired with the nuanced discussions of art, class, and politics left me so pleasantly surprised. (it's also extremely gay and perfect for all you tumblr users with mummy/daddy issues)

Navigating With You by Jeremy Whitley

4.5 out of 5 stars

Thank you Netgalley for providing digital advanced copy in exchange for honest review.

Neesha and Gabby are the new kids at school. Despite Neesha's attempts to start off as a "loner," Gabby manages to talk her into eating lunch together and being lab partners. They eventually start talking and realize that they read the same manga when they were younger. The two decide to find the volumes to read together, which prove to be a bit difficult as they're out of print and hard to find.

Their friendship blossoms as they spend the school year searching for the manga volume by volume. While they read the adventures of Navigator Nozomi, a romance starts to bloom between the two of them.

I enjoyed the scenes of the manga incorporated into the story. It helped to see how Gabby and Neesha could've interpreted parts of it differently while they were reading. Neesha is a young girl who feels like she has to fight all the wrongs in the world, and possibly the world itself if it tries to say that she can't do something due to her disability. Gabby, on the other hand, seems to be able to go with the flow and brush off a lot--until she doesn't.

The graphic novel itself deals with characters struggling with PTSD, the world not being accessible to all, and, overall, family and friends who accept you and are supportive. This was a great read.

Review: The Lesbiana's Guide to Catholic School by Sonora Reyes Rating: 4/5

This was an emotional story. I was expecting something a little more light-hearted but Reyes delves deep into the psyches of their characters. 

The thing I especially loved about the book was Yamilet's relationship with her brother, Cesar, and how they tried to keep each other safe however they could -- even when they weren't getting along. 

The discussions about being a queer woman of colour between Yamilet and Bo were wonderful, too, and I loved watching their relationship develop over the course of the novel. 

I did find the pace of the novel a bit stop-start in places. Yamilet's motivations kept changing in confusing ways and then the story would feel like it was coming to a close only to keep going. It's not enough to put me off Reyes' writing but it did make the book feel slower.

If you liked Starfish by Akemi Dawn Bowman, you'll find something to like with Sonora Reyes' debut.

Solo Date Point Review (R1) + Blind Date Star Review (Final 5)

Creator comment:

Odin: Gemma found out that she really love to be around Odin and he make her feel the love that she never get before. he treat her well even when the incident at the house happen, Odin came and give her support.

Adriadne: This girl, she really like I don't care 😅. She always come and chat with Gemma even tho there's other contestant with them. But she proof that she's not weird and guess what she confess to Gemma that she had a crush on her 🤭. That 1 bonus for her too.

Felix: He still shy but he's really working on to get Gemma attention and He also being there for Gemma when the incident happen.

Max: hmm..the pieces still have on Gemma's heart. It's hard to heals.but hey, he already apologize. Gemma know that hard to be around with rivalry in the same house and I also don't blame him to get jealous.

Aria: Gemma love to be around her as a sisters. they have a lot of chit chat. But the romance, they still working on it.

Nephinae: I'm sorry, she had being eliminated for this round. Gemma found out that, It's hard for them to be together. They have romantic bar quite low and It's not Nephinae false, Gemma refused to be with her although she keep trying. hope she found her love after this. tq for sent her to be a part of this BC ❤.

*Odin, Max, Felix and Adriadne had a good friend sentiment with Gemma.

For solo date round 1, the point will be from the friendship and romance bar. This also will be including a comment from Gemma's podcasts from the previous post. See u guys in Solo Date R2. there will be 2 sims will be eliminated on the second round. They still will be a part of Gemma save file.

unintentionally started drama on kink tumblr by following through on the idea of a peer reviewed tumblr dom with a “reviews” tab on my blog with different quotes from things people have to said to me while we were involved with credit and links back to the reviewer’s blog

THE LOFT (2014)

Some men are sick f*cks. Clever movie. It sort of took a not so clever turn and it had maybe a few too many twists and turns but otherwise a good film. Glad it ended happy.

⭐⭐⭐⭐

Some scummy hot dudes get a loft to share and fuck in (they fuck women, not each other). Things take a turn when a death or two happens there (shown in the very beginning).

One girl had killed herself there (which turned out to be a murder) and then the boy who loved her kills himself after realizing that she didn't die by his “gentle” hand, when his fucked up friend sliced her open he actually killed her. (Suicide warning if you choose to watch.) Come see Billy Butcher pre-Butcher!

the most italian thing i've found in italy so far was a 1 star google review of a nearby church complaining that it was annoying that they rang the bells to signal the time "like everyone doesn't have a watch now" man what do you think church bells are for

[literatureaesthetic]

mieko kawakami was one of my author focuses of the year, i've slowly been working my way through her oeuvre. i knew kawakami was something special when i read 'breasts and eggs' last summer, and 'all the lovers in the night' has only cemented that impression. although it wasn't as impactful as 'breasts and eggs', it was still a very solid read. i only have 'heaven' left to go, and i'll have read everything she's written :')

you can find my full (and much more coherent) review here, if interested. but to sum, i highly recommend checking her work out if you haven't already!!

4 stars

Ironically, i forgot this one had major mental health themes, and started reading it to distract myself from anxiety. This was a bad idea. I finished the book anyway, it was fun.

Anyway. I can’t speak for the accuracy of the portrayal of drag, but you can tell Quinlan loves it from how they write about the subculture- the way their love of it seeps into their writing is palpable throughout the book. I thought  the portrayal of mental health stuff was good- and the way every character is messy in some ways and fucks up sometimes makes for a cohesive plot. There was one misunderstanding plot line that stuck out to me, but overall the interpersonal conflict was internally logical and compelling. The characters are all so loveable- for a book where the main plot is fueled by pettiness, the way you root for every character is admirable. I thought the cast was a really great size, large enough to be interesting and small enough that i never got lost. I think the writing itself wasn’t always the strongest (mostly with, like. Word choice), not the worst I’ve read but not the best either.

I’d recommend people looking for a book that: deals with the messy side of mental health, is full of drag queens and kings, a rivals to lovers plot line, a fun summer read, or queer found family in general.
