What readers are saying

Many find the writing to be both touching and absurd, making it an enjoyable experience for fans of LGBTQ+ themes. Some highlight the over-the-top raunchiness and its resemblance to B-movies as a fun touch, while others reflect on the deeper messages about love and acceptance.

— San Francisco Weekly

"High on lesbian content and unrestrained sexuality."
— SF Bay Guardian
