Big Queer Book Club

In this episode we talk to queer author Tina Kakadelis about her dog, the Gilmore Girls, Bruce Springsteen, One Direction, and Dolly Parton.  Oh, and her YA queer novel series, The Carly Allen Trilogy.  Specifically we talk about the first book in the series, Burn Before Reading.  It is a YA novel about heart break, young queer love, deciding which college to attend, and trying to survive until graduation.  Tina is an incredible young author and we most definitely recommend this YA queer trilogy to all humans ages 9-99!
