Roller Girl | Litsy

pick

Short, sweet, sexy, sporty! I appreciated the trans representation, F/F romance, beautiful friendships, and roller-derby-tastic goodness. I liked this world so much and fell so in love with even the side characters that I plan to read the first two books as well. I wish this was the first book in the series so I could get updates on Tina and Jo's beautiful relationship in the second and third installments, but you can't win 'em all. 👩‍❤️‍👩

LiteraryinPA Sounds great! If you like roller derby awesomeness, then I recommend this graphic novel take on it.

Vanessa North is amazing. I don't know how she fit so much into such a short book. My heart soared through the whole story. Her characters are beautiful, and flawed, and real. The romance is achingly sweet. The sexy times are hot. And the friendships and community are everything. As for the sports aspect, I am not a sports kinda girl, but this made me want to check out derby. This is my new, everyone-MUST-read-this, book!

Roller Girl | Vanessa North

Continuing the Book Club for Masochists romance adventures with some queer romance books. Roller Girl is thus far adorable and charming and I'm in love with this world. I could get used to a good queer #romance now and then #lgbtq

I love sports romances, stories about tight communities, and protagonists who learn to embrace their strengths, and Vanessa North delivers on all fronts. Tina, a former pro wakeboarder, comes into her own as she falls hard for roller derby, befriends her teammates, nurtures a new romance, and explores her potential as a role model for trans kids. I tore through her story fast as I could.

I loved her dog, too. Everything's better with a dog.

I loved this story. I loved the romance between Tina and Joanna (Joe). It was sweet and sexy. Even more, I loved the non-romantic relationships that Tina develops when she joins the roller derby team. My only complaint is that it could have been longer. #litsyAtoZ #readharder #aboutsports #LGBTQplusromance #yescountingformultiplechallenges #sorrynotsorry

bookishkai Ok, I'm just kinda going to post titles. I will say, Riptide Publishing (who put out Roller Girl) are my go-to for lgbtq romance, so definitely check out their backlist and coming soon titles. 8y

Tina, a trans woman coping with the aftermath of being divorced, joins a women's roller derby team at the behest of the cute plumber who rescues her from her malfunctioning washer. Girl power, sport solidarity, secret sexy times in a short queer romance.
