    Still Not Over You by Jenny Frame & Carsen Taite & Ali Vali | ARC Review

    26th June 2020
    Cover of Still Not Over You (Jenny Frame & Carsen Taite & Ali Valie)

    Still Not Over You by Jenny Frame & Carsen Taite & Ali Vali

    • Publisher: Bold Strokes Books, 2020
    • Genre: Romance, LGBTQ+, Novella
    • Format: Paperback (eARC)
    • Page Count: 264 pages
    • My Rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐ (4/5)

    I absolutely love the first novella My Forever Girl by Jenny Frame. Its tone is sad from the beginning yet we feel the immense love and caring between Braydon and Faith. Because of unfortunate circumstances, they are divorced and have been avoiding seeing each other for four years. But their friends invite them on a cruise and force them to share adjacent rooms for two weeks. Melancholy flowed relentlessly through the story as Bray and Faith work to forgive each other and, most importantly, themselves. Frame did not disappoint with this emotional butch-femme story and oh what I would give to have a full length novel of them!

    The Duchess and the Dreamer by Jenny Frame | ARC Review

    20th May 2020
    Cover of The Duchess and the Dreamer (Jenny Frame)

    The Duchess and the Dreamer (Rosebrook #1) by Jenny Frame

    • Publisher: Bold Strokes Books, 2020
    • Genre: Romance, LGBTQ+
    • Format: Paperback (eARC)
    • Page Count: 233 pages
    • My Rating: ⭐⭐⭐ (3/5)

    Duchess of Rosebrook Clementine Fitzroy lost her ability to dream when her grandmother lost her fortune doing just that. When toy company CEO Evan Fox purchased her old home and dreamed to renovate the whole village, Clementine was dead set on not trusting this outsider. That the ever-exuberant Evan was exactly Clementine’s type and also attracted to her did not help at all.

About Me

Lí-hó!! I am Hsinju (they/she), a Taiwanese book blogger, writer, and full-time grad student in engineering. Here, I mainly review books featuring authentically represented LGBTQ+ characters and/or written by LGBTQ+ authors. You’d usually find me going about life with my heart stuck in the last book I finished.
