Review Book: Because of Her

I finished Because of Her, 24 hours ago and still I do not have the courage to start reading another book for the fear of loosing the feeling Ke Payne has evoked in me.

Tabitha and Eden have lovingly crept under my skin and snuggly found a place inside my heart to stay.

I found the book real and authentic. Raw in its feelings as crudely unprocessed, are those emotions that make us break from adolescents to young adults, from rebellious teenagers to conscious bearers of future generations.

Yes it is a book I would recommend to any young lesbian out there (and not so young one too!). For hurdles are made to be jumped and only in that leap for love and through love, we can start a change that is the passport to a better us, a better world...just because of her.

The book will be published on the 1st March 2014 by Bold Strokes Books

Review Book: Safe Passage

What a delightful book. Kate Owen knows well how to weave a story that captivates the reader's attention from the very start.

A narrative which we live through the main character, Julianna Delacroix, by being witness to a endearing story straddling two different time periods with a common denominator. 

An ancestor's murder that paves the way to a family secret and an untold love tragically cut short.

The account is ably sprinkled with enrapturing details sure to elate your curiosity, luscious romance with a beat and a lesbian sex scene piquant to the right point (at least for me).

Well done!

Book Review: The Beginning of Us

Coming of age is always difficult. Becoming aware of one's sexuality is always a battle of endorphins, thoughts and social structures. Becoming aware that one's sexuality does not confine to those “normal” social structures makes it more complicated.

Becoming aware of one's homosexuality while falling in love with your professor...well that drives the experience to over 9 magnitude earthquake on Richter scale.

Such turmoil is written as full-immersion diary after the events happened, making the reader partake in a personal and touching prose. 

Delicately written on a gushing river of feelings, this story has all the naivety of first love whilst discovering the me through the beginning of the us.

Dedicated to all those…./ Per tutti quelli che…

Dedicated to all those who in this moment in time feel defenceless
Dedicated to all those who feel put in a corner, used and thrown as a tissue paper.
Dedicated to all those who for their ideals and rights feel fooled.
Dedicated to all those who sincerely can’t distinguish somebody that can carry on their battles in the newly formed Italian parliament.



Per tutti quelli che in questo momento si sentono senza difese.
Per tutti quelli che si sentono messi ad un angolo, usati e gettati come un fazzoletto di carta.
Per tutti quelli che dei loro ideali e diritti si sentono presi in giro.
Per tutti quelli che sinceramente non vedono nessuno che porti la loro bandiera nelle nuove istituzioni parlamentari.
