Cute story about finding yourself and your gender presentation.
Dawn discovers a love letter written between two women dating from the 1950s in a book she‘s rebinding and follows the mystery of who they are and what happened to them. What enfolds ends up mirroring her life in unexpected ways.
Predictable, but a good story and what I needed for the moment.

pickI loved this book. Kelly explored gender and sexuality and the weight of history without losing the all-too-important human connections that made this a great novel.
Dawn is a queer, gender fluid person in a relationship with another person exploring their own gender identity in 2001 NYC. When Dawn finds a lesbian paperback cover from the 1950s with a love note on it, she begins a journey into queer history that clears her artistic block.
pickThis incredible book is an honest and fascinating character study of a mid-20s struggling artist and bookbinder named Dawn. Dawn is a gender fluid bi Jewish person living in NYC in 2003 and she is, well, lost. When she discovers a queer love letter written on the back of 1950s lesbian pulp novel cover, she becomes obsessed with finding the woman who wrote it, thinking it will somehow help her self actualize. Beautiful character development!
"Sometimes, being lost is an opportunity."
I sure hope this ends up being the case for Dawn, the protagonist! She isn't sure how to get out of her artist's block and she isn't sure about how to embody her gender fluidity, and she isn't sure whether her current relationship fits her anymore.
A new/used bookstore moved into the small town where I grew up! I come here often because my parents live here, and I‘m excited to see a bookstore here again. There was one here 15-20 years ago but the owners left and nobody came in to fill the hole. I didn‘t anticipate finding such a great stack of books! #LocalBookstore #BookHaul

“But Im different here. Im neither red nor nor orange nor yellow nor blue...“
I would use this book in my classroom to introduce colors and acceptance. The book starts out with two characters. One character is yellow and the other one is blue. At first, these two characters are only familiar with their colors. However, as the book progresses, new characters with new colors are introduced. The green character thinks he can only play with other green characters. But he soon learns that he can play with everyone.
