I Left My Back Door Open by April Sinclair

3.0

"Coffee Will Make You Black" was the first "grown-up book" I ever read as a child. I've always been a titles girl, and that one certainly grabbed my attention at the age of 11 or so. As such, April Sinclair was my literary introduction to sexual exploration and queerness, and probably one of my first novels that dug deep into race as well. So I have a soft spot for her as a figure, even if as an adult sometimes the characters and tropes feel a wee bit stiff.
