@vivavaleria@eldritch.cafe on the mammooth site. Reading mostly wlw rom-coms, with the occasional exceptions. I try to rotate languages, but it isn't really easy to find queer romance books in other languages than English. Reviews and comments usually in the same language as the book.

Cute bisexual lovestory. However, this is one of those books where the main arc passes pretty fast, but then there's still sooo many more chapters. So many more chapters that you begin to suspect a "person walks into wrong situation and jumps to conclusions" plot twist (which are the worst). Well that's not what happens, but still, at ~60% the plot is basically over.

A vengeful girl. A hollow boy. A missing god.

This book is so full of cute absurdities, it's amazing. Hell's selection mechanism is AI driven? Homoerotic flirting between a human and a zombie? HELL YES! And even if the main romance arc is wlm, the entire book is so fucking gay.

‘Oh no,’ she thought, listening to the beat of his heart, ‘this is nice.’

He grinned crookedly, tapping her nose lightly with his finger. “Boop!”

Wait, an actual fucking NOSE BOOP?? I can't remember having seen that in a book, ever.

Sixteen-year-old Sana Kiyohara has too many secrets. Some are small, like how it bothers her …
What's frustrating to me, is that all of the time, different poems are mentioned, are their meanings referenced, but they're not printed. Also, the main character says some shitty racist stuff at some point (and gets punished for it), but doesn't really make up for it later.
2 sapphic lovers-to-enemies accompany their dying old teacher on his death trip and stumble upon loads of nudes of him. Also, they fall in love again.
"How do I look, girls?" "Like a man with a fully functioning cock," Logan answers.

"You girls want some Tuesdays with Morrie advice?", Joe says when they're all back in the car. "Here it is. Take more nudes while you're young."

No logré engancharme. Tal vez es que la realidad de la guerra es demasiado punzante …
The paperbook book Eris was reading sits abandoned, overturned on its pages, spine comfortably cracked. A line of tape borders the edge of the cover flap. I look at her. "Did you paste over a different cover?" Juniper flits by, arms in the air. "Eris likes us to pretend I'm the only one who reads the romance novels." "You can laugh," Eris says, blushing. "But I'm holding the future of your skin hostage." [with a tattoo needle and ink] I crane my neck to peek at the book again. "Romantic." "Dangerous." "Dramatic."
