REVIEW: “Just Girls” by Rachel Gold
Jess Tucker sticks her neck out for a stranger—the buzz is someone in the dorm is a trans girl. So Tucker says it’s her, even though it’s not, to stop the finger pointing. She was an out lesbian in high school, and she figures she can stare down whatever gets thrown her way in…

REVIEW: “Blowback” by Bev Prescott
