Ginger Snaps

Reviewed by Truus for Diverse Reader

What a funny and honest read this was. It was written in a natural way as if they were my own neighbors and I was living next door. It was delightful to read their story. Where it could be awkward for some, because of the sometimes exceptional and exuberant circumstances, I thought it was just so deliciously honest, I was in all the way.

Gideon, a redhead, hurt by his ex-boyfriend and left behind with nothing, is given the opportunity to live in an apartment on the sixth floor. The owner is Arthur, the most colorful person I've ever met, a real matchmaker.
This complex is filled with apartments and all the tenants are queer each one is sweet and kind. Next door lives another redhead... Reed, Reed is newly divorced from his wife and ready to live his life truly as an inexperienced gay man.
At first sight, they like each other even though neither likes other redheads at all.
There is something very appealing blooming and it’s halted when something ugly occurs.
The way all the surroundings were painted was as absorbing as the story itself. I could smell the fresh breeze at the open window, I even felt the earthquakes!
The hurt was real and honest. Gideon and Reed both had kind personalities. I will not open up about all the others characters because you need to experience it yourself.
This was, of course, pleasurable to consume and wonderfully written.
It was a gentle, sweet, funny, and charming.
I loved Arthur "under my roof, nobody is alone"
