A review by galacticvampire
Girls Like Girls by Hayley Kiyoko

4.0

I wasn't expecting much of this book because, well, Hayley Kiyoko isn't a writer. But damn, what a surprise.

I think this has one of the best depictions of sapphic attraction I've ever seen. It's not (only) about the curves and the gaze or whatever else heteronormativity managed to contaminate into the queer experience. It pays attention to details, from the intimacy of touching hair to helping clasp a necklace. The tension!

My only point is that I really disagree with the choice to make the music video the climax, because everyone already knew what would happen and then it just. Ends. The scene could've easily be elsewhere, making the conclusion way more interesting.
