The best nonfiction book about rape I’ve ever read. A powerful auto-ethnography alongside incessantly convincing discussions of historical and contemporary rape culture. I am an instant Sohaila Abdulali stan.

Fly With Me by Andie Burke

emotional funny hopeful inspiring sad fast-paced

5.0

Best sapphic romance book I’ve read to-date! And I read a lot of them. Femme and queer nurses and pilots, family illness and toxicity, workplace harassment, and great sex scenes. Favorite quote from Olive: “It’s not going to feel okay. But it’s okay to *feel.*”

10/10 will read again.
