Lady Aranea reviewed Come Out, Come Out by Natalie C. Parker
Dark and Foreboding; Potentially Triggering
4 stars
A young lesbian and her trans-masc gender queer best friend discover themselves as they solve the mystery of a missing friend they don't even remember they had. Along the way, they are faced with a supernatural mystery that haunts the local woods, along with the more banal and mundane horrors of discovering their queerness in the midst of a conservative, rural Pacific North-West town.
It's worth warning the reader that this book does grapple with issues such as parental abandonment, conversion therapy, and the constant low-grade anxiety that pervades most queer lives in spaces that are not controlled and curated specifically by our communities.
Excellent book.
