"Baldwin’s grand novel, Another Country, delivers beatnik-era 1950s, with characters who are on all sides of black, white, gay and straight, twisting complex lives into a magical taffy of perfection. By humanizing the bourgeoning civil rights movement and changing attitudes towards women, Baldwin creates a historical portrait of America that is a great key to understanding where we come from."

Book Favorite

"Like lots of people, I really love Roxane Gay. This is one of my favorite essay collections I’ve read in the past five to ten years. She’s really good at conversational writing that’s also academic and intelligent and funny. After #MeToo there’s a lot of introspection, and people need to analyze themselves and see what feminist they’ll be. There’s no perfect feminist."

3.25 stars.

I'm kinda torn with this. I liked the characters; all of them, kids included, but the storyline annoyed me a little. The big wedge where they weren't together, all because of some crazy notion. It peed me off a bit. Yeah, you're scared because it's all new to you and you don't know how others will react to the news, but if you'd only talked about it!

<spoiler>I know you're both new to the whole gay thing but you didn't even try anal sex; even when you got sent a copy of the Gay Kama Sutra!</spoiler>

I liked James and I'm intrigued enough by his situation to read the next book in the series

Robyn Peterman knows how to write a witty, sassy, hilarious with the right amount of sexiness story!
Hank 'The Tank' is one sexy alpha. Essie is beautiful and sassy.
Put them together with her best friend Dwayne (a gay Vampyre), Granny, a few Tina's, and some dragons and you have one laugh out loud story!
Looking forward to the next book in this series.
