    Summary

    Thomas King is not your usual Hollywood starlet.

    Mostly because she’s not Thomas King, most of the time. Most of the time, she’s Tabitha, except that wasn’t snazzy enough for the marquees across the country, so she was remade into Theresa, because Tabitha King is a girl who clawed her way out of the boondocks, out of the canneries, out of a working class family of too many boys that rarely had the food necessary for her to survive.

    Tabby King is a sad story of the sort that ends up getting buried in the Washington dirt- or, hell, tossed off of a cliff to sink into the sea and never be seen again.

    Theresa King is seen on silver screens across the country, making out with the brightest boys and fawned at by the most beautiful girls.

    Thomas King slinks in and out of queer underground parties, a new woman, a new man, a third life built on the graves of the girls that came before, drawing in all of the girls and boys alike, all glittering suits and top hats, ‘20s decadence paired with perfectly painted nails, the tools of her trade at the top of the red carpet, with the whole world beneath her stilettos and her claws.

    Charles may be aromantic, and Crystal may be a lesbian, but somehow that doesn't stop this weird dynamic they've got going on. Niko helps them figure it out.

    Captivating read. Beautiful, nuanced perspective on queer love and relationships. I keep coming back to it.

    Francoise knew how this ended, but that didn’t stop her from wanting to see it through.

    It didn’t stop her from wanting him.

    I'm not even finished with this yet but I'm confident in recommending it bc ?? Oh my god?? The pain, the trauma, the love, the Persistence even through dark times. What a great take on this world and these characters, 10/10
