So Fangirl gave me acid flashbacks to the tail end of my high school years, not just cause of the Harry Potter nostalgia. I remember reading this article a long, long time ago about how Harry Potter fangirls were losing their mind over their fan ...more

I picked up this book because I had the bright idea of wondering if writing convincing lesbian characters in my fiction might involve reading books written by actual lesbians. Who knew, right? Anyway, I might be a straight man but the abject terror ...more
