The Wrong Stars
This is definitely not the best written book I've ever read - some of the writing's a bit awkward, and the tone is off at times - but it has brown queer ladies in space, and found family, and a sense of humour, so I enjoyed it a lot nevertheless. (I wasn't altogether sure about some aspects of how its demisexual character was portrayed, but that's not how I identify, so I might be wrong, and I feel like it was a solid attempt.)
Didn't finish: The Hundred Days
I love this series a lot, and I will probably go back and finish this one (and indeed the series) at some point (note to self, you'd got to page 48), but the more I think about it, the more upset I am that (skip) Diana was killed off so casually and off screen and I need, at the very least, a bit of a break before I go on. (Also, I peeked at the Goodreads reviews which mentioned (skip) deaths in the plural: if anyone could let me know whether or not Clarissa and Sophie survive, I would be very grateful.)
