HAPPY PRIDE EVERYONE
to start the month (and because recently i managed to drag myself out of my reading slump and spend all my money at waterstones) here's a brilliant queer book recommendation!
i kissed shara wheeler by casey mcquiston: now, casey's books are always absolute masterpieces, however i have to say when i stumbled across this one after having finished reading one last stop for the fiftieth time, i didn't have such high expectations for it. they've already outdone themselves twice, i thought, can they really do it again? the answer is yes, they can. this book is the perfect balance of angst and over the top romance, with fiery characters (most of whom are queer), and a sharp portrayal of how religion, when mishandled, can sometimes lead to the suffocation of identity.
10/10, would recommend this to anybody, any day of the week.
