Skip the rest of this blog and go read Middlesex now. The closest I can think of is Middlesex by Jeffrey Eugeindes, which isn’t even that close but is amazing, and probably is one of the best novels I have ever read. I’ve not read many in which the protagonist is gay, and a lesbian. (Amendment: I guess I do read a lot of books with gay main characters, though many of those involve the gay male best friend archetype. Honestly, the book description didn’t intrigue me that much (mainly because it didn’t offer much plot reveal-more on that in a bit), but I usually don’t read books with homosexual main characters, so the idea of going outside my usual tipped me over the edge, and I clicked to order Stray City, by Chelsey Johnson, from the library. I figured with the stars aligning like that, I HAD to read this book. I won’t lie – I mainly picked this title because of the author’s name (shout out to the CJ’s!) and the fact that there is an adorable orange cat on the front cover that looks very much like MY adorable orange cat.
