A review by seventhaurora
Annie on My Mind, by Nancy Garden

5.0

no amount of stars could convey my feelings for this book… i can’t believe it’s turning 40 years old this year it feels like it could’ve been published yesterday it’s timeless and groundbreaking and will live in my heart forever. it makes me emotional thinking about all the lesbians who have read this since it was published, all the people who felt seen for maybe the first time in their lives. all the people this book has helped.

i’ve never had a number 1 book before, a book that above all others i could point to and say, “that one’s my favourite.” but since about 60 pages in, i could tell that Annie on My Mind was going to become that book. it’s a literary treasure and a lesbian classic. i want to read it so many times that the spine breaks in a hundred places.
