100%! I had to go back and double check to make sure that’s the section I got it from, because I thought surely I read that wrong 😂 I should have read the description better. I just assumed a girl main character and in the lqbtqia+ section and thought I was going to get a sapphic murder mystery 😂 we get like a few sentences about a side character that might not be straight

Paul Ataua Great review, Rachel. I am also totally confused when I see LGBTQIA+ next to a book. I expect so much and then sometimes it just comes down to the ticket inspector on the train being trans. Sometimes I think might sometimes be warning people who are transphobic.

Rachael Hamilton @paul I never thought of this!!!! That’s actually pretty messed up if someone feels like they have to worn people about lgqbtia+ people just existing. If I see that tag I expect it to be like a main character, so it definitely threw me off.

Lydia Fitzpatrick Thanks so much for the review Rachael! I totally understand how you felt bamboozled -- my novel definitely didn't earn the LGBTQIA category, and I think it was a publisher error that's been corrected. Apologies again! I so appreciate your reading In the Blind--it means the world to have readers like you take the time to do so and to put such thought into your review . Thank you!!!
