 “I love this book, so much so that I want to marry it and have its babies. I don’t even want to have kids, but for this book, I’d make an exception . . . After the first chapter, I was hooked. Why? Two reasons: the style in which this novel is written and the likeability of the main character. It’s hard to explain a writing style, at least it is for me, but what I like in particular is that it is fast paced and funny. Yes, I know, that isn’t very helpful, you are just going to have read the book yourself to find out what I mean. Let me just say that I enjoyed the writing style almost as much as the actual content, maybe even more. To sum up, Alix & Valerie is a wonderful novel about falling in love that should be in every queer girl’s bookcase. Maybe even in everyone’s bookcase.” — Bridget N. Watts, Helium

“The characters are endearing and realistic. It is only too easy to identify with Alix and her lack of confidence as she goes through the different stages of their relationship. Her feelings of insecurity and exhilaration make her real, believable and cute. The dialogues are witty and cleverly crafted. At times they provide a most welcome dramatic relief.” — Review, Hannah’s Nook
