Welcome to Litsy!

A mouth-watering and twisty mystery! The no-nonsense protagonist is Sagarine, a passionate chef whose love of food permeates most of the book's pages, when she isn't lamenting her attraction to a gorgeous Russian gangster for whom she finds herself working after the head chef of the restaurant where she works is found murdered. Fast-paced and compelling! I found Sagarine's truly terrible life decisions believable and the twists very well done.

I tried… can‘t do it. I‘m a huge Disney fan, but I‘m halfway through and not connecting with either main character. Plus, there are so! Many! Exclamation! Points! I get that the girls are excited, but it‘s a bit too much. Too bad, because it‘s a beautiful cover…

Very good.

This slow-paced novel is set mostly in the Ohio Appalachian Mountains. Growing up literally dirt poor and basically abandoned by her parents, Jodi grows up with her grandmother on Bethlehem Mountain. Jodi gets involved with a woman & makes some tragic decisions. Life gives her another chance, but will Jodi fall back into old habits? 4/5⭐️

I did not realize that this was a graphic novel until I looked it up after listening to the audiobook That certainly explains why the audiobook was so short. It was also very different hearing a graphic novel as an audiobook compared to other audiobooks. I did find it enjoyable, but probably would have rather enjoyed it more as the graphic novel.

I absolutely loved this book. The publisher (Haymarket Books) always has the most radical writings we need. Themes: feminist rage, pain, racism, domestic violence, immigration, queer love and relationships, death, and more. Her words are 🔥🔥🔥!

A coming-out story set in the 1950s; there were a lot of sub plots which served no purpose whatsoever so that bummed me out!

Was very complex to think about but very enthralling to read. Pulled you in and developed a love/hate relationship with the narrator. Always was enticing and kept you in your toes fighting with your bias and personal opinions with the character—- develops a strong personal connection between reader and narrator!

Have you ever asked yourself the question: “What if a UHaul Lesbian was also a Shape-Shifting, Man-Eating Monster?”

I loved the light-hearted style of the writing for some really gore-heavy scenes. Honestly, the whole book was so fun until the last hour, where we sink into that Romance writing for the post-climax downhill coast to the end. It‘s fine! I just personally don‘t like them.
