Welcome to Litsy!

Article from 2023.
Do you ever read a throw away line in a book and think "say what now?" I don't know anything about Bardot beyond her name and that she was an actor/model and somehow I missed that she is a god awful terrible person! This article from VF has me saying jezus multiple times. A supporter of Le Pen, Bardot encapsulates right wing bigotry and hatred.
I am glad I know now.

"I wonder if accepting moral complexity is a sign of my poor standards"

I am in love with Dinan. This is her sophomore novel and I cannot decide which I liked more. I do know I will be internet stalking her waiting for her next book. Her writing is wonderful, I love her morally great struggling characters, and how their daily life is never boring even if I cannot concisely articulate what exactly the plot is.
4.5/5 ⭐ I love this.

Yesterday was Trans Visibility day, and in the spirit of we should be reading trans author all year round I wanted to make a post for 6 books I intend to read this year by Trans authors!

I am SO excited for Disappoint Me, I loved her Bellies and I have the ARC I have already started, Stag Dance is up next I really enjoyed Detransition Baby and Peters latest interviews, I am impatiently waiting for Gentleman's Gentleman!

Who are you reading?

This book sucked me in completely for a few days and it became the book that I thought about most about when I was not reading it. Loved the dual POVs for Max and Vincent, it was a great way to give us a more in-depth look at these 2 very complex characters. Loved, loved the ending!

This is my first time reading the author and I can‘t wait to read Bellies now.

I highly recommend this book!
