Archie Bongiovanni, the comics artist behind the hit A Quick and Easy Guide to They/Them Pronouns, explores queerness in this shockingly frank and funny graphic novel. Best friends and chosen family Chris, Elise, Jo, and Alex work hard to keep themselves afloat. Their regular brunches hold them together even as the rest of their lives threaten to fall apart. In an effort to avoid being the oldest gays at the party, the crew decides to put on a new queer event called Grind-specifically for homos in their dirty thirties. Grind is a welcome distraction from their real problems: after a messy divorce, Chris adjusts to being a single parent while struggling to reconnect to their queer community. Elise is caught between feelings for her boss and the career of her dreams. Jo tries to navigate the murky boundaries of being a supportive friend and taking care of her own needs. And Alex is guarding a secret that might change his friendships forever. While navigating exes at work, physical and mental exhaustion, and drinking way, way too much on weekdays, this chosen family proves that being messy doesn't always go away with age.… (more)

It's all friendship turbulence as members of a found family take turns becoming self-involved and neglectful of their friends then getting pissy when their friends get all self-involved and neglectful. I tired of all the whining and sulking from what would have otherwise been likable gay and trans characters. It's an unexpected amount of immaturity from a bunch of thirtysomethings. ( )

BUZZZZZ

Damn! That's the third one this year!

Did I read a book? No. Did I catch up on work? No. I rewatched "Butches in Chains" five times until my Magic Wand bit the dust.
