This incredible collection of #queer #poetry is my May pick for #Bracket2025!
"Oh girlhood. i cut crop tops out of sunsets / made scrapbooks of bleached hair & pretty scars / all to please you. / Please, stay a little longer."
"If we grow up to be boring , love me / back into wildness"
"sometimes i think about marrying a woman just to piss off my mother / i'll wear a scarlet leather dress & let vengeance trail my back like a veil"
#LGBTQ
pickPage-turning! Two people, a newly divorced 40-year-old straight guy (Gibson), and a 30-something lesbian (Shelby), whose wife has died recently and unexpectedly, get drawn in by a charismatic pathological liar and only figure it out after they meet. Femme dyke, anxiety, and grief representation with Shelby are extremely well done. I love Whittall's #queer characters, because they feel so much like the queer people I know IRL. Great #audiobook!

Through the remains of the front window, I can see Peacoat Man stumble down the road, Sawyer by his side. When he sees my shadow in the window, he smiles. I smile back.

I take a moment to think about what it means to me so that the words come out right.
“History is who we are,” I say finally. “The past shapes us. Even the parts you can‘t remember.”

pickThis was a fun story. The character, Saoirse, was both funny and snarky. This was a great romance book. It was both sweet and funny. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
