Lesbian Fiction/PoC Author: Adaptation by Malinda Lo

[rsadelle]

I had high hopes for Malinda Lo's Adaptation. Ash and Huntress were very good with the potential to be great, and I was hoping Lo would be one of those writers who really learns to write by the third book. I did read Adaptation in one quick sitting, but I was disappointed in it, and more so the more I think about it.

I haven't read your cut above, since I would like to read it myself. But I did accidently see your comment about "the I-10". Just so you know that's not how southern californios say it either, they simply say "the 10" and in fact when asked to give a more full version Dave supplied "the 10 freeway". When I suggested "I-10" he asked me "who would know what that is?".

Oh, dear. That makes it even worse.

Do you want a copy of the book? I will send it to you if you do!

That would be great, I'm on the waiting list at my library though if somebody else wants it too!

No one else has expressed an interest. I need to go to the post office sometime later this week, so I'll send it to you!
