Welcome to Litsy!

What a perfect #JolabokaflodSwap package! Thank you so much @LeeRHarry 😘 And, yes, I would love to buddy read Neon Roses with you whenever you‘re ready. Merry Christmas 🎄🎅🧑‍🎄

I wanted to read this book because I was really interested in a fictional novel which is set around LGSM. Unfortunately, the introduction did not hold that promise. LGSM is only a minor focus and the promised conflicts at the start of the novel quickly evaporated. Disappointed.

Rating: ⭐️⭐️⭐️/5

Read after Helen‘s review and concur completely with Helen‘s review. Love 80s politics, music refs. Etc.

Loved this! Set in 1980s Wales against the background of the Miners‘ Strike and the looming AIDS crisis, Eluned struggles through life with little money and no prospects other than marrying her miner boyfriend.

Then Lesbians and Gays Support The Miners arrive in town on a fundraising mission, and everything changesas Eluned meets June. Loved all the 80s references; outfits, music etc. Be warned; the sex is rather explicit. 😳
