'Perfume & Pain' I love a novel with a messy, mentally unstable female lead, and "Perfume & Pain" checks off those boxes. The protagonist of the novel, Astrid, is in her 30s and doesn't have her life together. She's a notable lesbian writer, but she's in a writing slump. Astrid has many opportunities in front of her - a movie adaptation of her novel; a sapphic writing group - and she keeps sabotaging them. This novel, written by Anna Dorn, is meant to be a love letter to lesbian pulp fiction. While that's not a genre I'm well versed in, I'm having a blast reading "Perfume & Pain," and am hoping to finish it by the weekend. It's a great kickoff read for Pride Month! Did we spot you?
