    THIS IS HOW YOU LOSE THE TIME WAR YES!!! (There is also some great fanfiction for it if that's something you like to read! =D )
    Also, have you read Sooner Or Later Everything Falls Into the Sea by Sarah Pinsker? It's a sci-fi anthology featuring several ownvoices f/f stories - don't know how many because I am still reading the book, but it's amazing so far!

    Thank you so much for recs! I've only read TIHYLTTW and loved it. And unfortunately the writing style of Book Club didn't work for me. But all the rest sound amazing.
    I'm in the middle of The Vanished Birds and I'm loving it! Talking about messy queer characters. They're all so well done.
    The ones I did finish and would recommend are On Earth We're Briefly Gorgeous, which is one of the most beautiful books I've read. Novellas by P. Djeli Clark because they always make me feel hopeful. And for a romance A Little Light Mischief by Cat Sebastian. It was such a cute story.

    I've being dying to read Cantoras since you've first talked about it, but it's SO EXPENSIVE here in Brazil!
    And I'll leave here my recommendation of a queer Brazilian adult book: Amora, by Natália Borges Polesso. It's a collection of short stories that was translated to English this year, I believe? It's in the same vein of weirdness and beautiful prose as Salt Slow and Her Body and Other Parties (although I feel it has less elements of horror than these two). Highly recommend!

    I got to go to an event for Real Life right before everything went to shit with the pandemic, and one thing he said that I was very amused by was when he said that the town was Madison, WI, but he didn't name it because he knew people would nitpick if he got details about the town, but because of the details he did put in (including ones referred to by fictitious names, like "the pier"=the terrace), people figured it out.

      The book isn’t really clear on either character. I would argue probably pansexual for both women. And the authors are pretty open to most visualizations of both women, again it isn’t really clarified. They’re most commonly pictured as both women of color! The only thing that is clear is that they are both women and they have no issue being with another woman in a relationship.
