A review by nicnevin
Stone Butch Blues by Leslie Feinberg

dark inspiring tense medium-paced

• Plot- or character-driven? Character
• Strong character development? Yes
• Loveable characters? Yes
• Diverse cast of characters? Yes
• Flaws of characters a main focus? It's complicated

5.0

A vital book for any queer person or for anyone who is an ally. It is hard to read at times but I saw myself reflected in those pages.
