2022 marks ten years since I first came out as a lesbian. I could - and almost certainly will, at some point- wax lyrical about what it means to be a dyke in a time where both queers and women are under attack across the world and across the political spectrum. But there is a heatwave and I’m on holiday and so my brain has resorted to its most basic, mindless loves: women and books - not necessarily in that order.
I’ve just started Pretty Baby: A Memoir by Chris Belcher and next on my list is Girls Can Kiss Now by Jill Gutowitz!
