A review by yeahdeadslow
The Other Side Of Venus by Shirley Verel

5.0

I don't know why specifically, but... this book spoke to me. I liked the setting, the writing, the main character, her love interest, the ending! I've realized lately, I often enjoy older writing to that of recent years. (I had this realization during a conversation with someone who told me they only like writing from after 1980/90, haha.) This makes it difficult for someone who enjoys queer literature, since a lot of the older stuff is tragic and/or rubbish. Books like this fill a specific craving I have. This is maybe not a 5 star book, but I was 5 star invested! And for a time of isolation, I couldn't ask for more!
