Beautifully frank look at the messiness of coming out later in life, with some great (sometimes confronting, sometimes ones I disagree with) views on lesbian desire and love.

I’ve never read a more depressing modern outlook on life and lesbianism. Like…have the French ever been happy? Have you ever felt joy???? Also (unfortunately) definitely can relate to some of it! But there were some parts (i.e. the one chapter about how women were “made for f*cking,” and the majority of how the narrator talks about the women she slept with) that I realllllly hated. Still a good read if you want to be depressed and/or if you’re already depressed and want to feel SEEN!

Thank you to Tusker Rock Press/ @profile.books for this proof for us at @dial_lane_books! 

Playboy by @constancdebre is a frantic, compulsive read. The kind of book that snatches the air from your chest, that makes you feel dizzy like a good wine. Drunk on Constance’s words. 

Unapologetically Queer, this fast paced autofiction will grab your heart, your mind and leave you reeling. Told in a series of vignettes from Constance’s life, Playboy is at the same time funny and serious, wildly sexy and leaves you wanting more. Like the women in the story, you might end the book just a little bit in love.
