pickThis unusual story is told through two unrelated storylines. The first, set in 1909, is the story of the unexpected friendship between two girls who meet on a roller coaster at Hanlan's Point (Toronto's Coney Island). The second is the story of a recently bereaved woman who has lost her partner. The former story was incredibly compelling and was a glimpse into a different era, with its difficulties for women outside the norm. Highly recommended!
pickThis book is centred on Toronto Island. There are two narratives - a historical fiction piece about two girls who meet and fall in love on a roller coaster, and a contemporary story of a woman dealing with the death of her wife. It was sweet and compelling and readable. I love stories set on the Island. I have some issues with the ending but will put them in the comments with a spoiler alert. #queerbooks

My current read starts out pretty great! #greatfirstlines #greatfirstparagraph #queerbooks
A night alone means digging into a new book. So far I'm enjoying this small press offering. Alternating chapters tell two storylines involving four women, nearly 100 years apart, and set on the Toronto Islands near my home.
