Welcome to Litsy!

This contemporary YA novel takes what could be a goofy soap opera-esque plot device -- the protagonist wakes up after a serious head injury having forgotten the last 2 years of her life, which includes her figuring out she's queer and having a secret two year relationship with a girl -- and thoughtfully explores issues of grief, familial homophobia, coming out, romantic soulmates, memory, and fate. Beautiful #audiobook performed by Natalie Naudus!

June TBR 🌈 I'm bi, so I like to read queer lit all year, but in June I like to focus almost exclusively on LGBTQIA+ reads.

I have so many feelings!!! First, I loved this #book. So so much!! But also, it hurt me when I least expected it to

The writing is so beautiful that it left me wondering if maybe I would one day feel even half of what Nora and Stevie felt for each other. And that narration!!! AHHHHHH. Destroyed me. Beautiful writing and a top-tier narrator? I was 💀 from the first chapter and I only cried more down the line

This is a YA romance about two 18-year-old girls who are in a secret romance in a very conservative and religious town. After an accident causes one of them to lose their memories of the last two years, the other is devastated. In addition to romance, the book deals with some racism, friendships, families and acceptance. It is a sweet story told with lots of humour with a few darker moments. I really enjoyed it. 4/5 stars.
