Bella Caledonia have published a lovely, thoughtful review of my book, Small Town Joy. I love reviews like this where I get to know a bit about the reviewer, as well as about the thing being reviewed.
Some books you take in with your head. Others you absorb through your skin. Carrie Marshall’s Small Town Joy is one of those rare, resonant ones you feel in your chest. It hums, it vibrates, it stirs old ghosts. For those of us who grew up queer in Scotland’s small towns, feeling like off-key notes in someone else’s tune, this book lands like recognition.
