it’s giving clue (1985) but queer(er) vibes and i ate it up.

i fell in love with rosen's writing when i read camp last year, and this go round had me falling even harder.

i love the idea of a safe haven for queer people in a time where no where else was publicly safe. lavender house felt like somewhere you wanted to be, even with its quirks and flaws.- and uh, murder? like any family, these people were something else!

i found myself not wanting anyone to be the murderer because i felt so much for every person in the house. the characters were real, flawed, queer people just trying to get by and love the people the loved. 

evander (my love) was the perfect character to narrate this story. hiding in plain sight, joining up with the enemy in hopes to keep his secret more closely guarded, or maybe just because he thought it was the safest route- i loved his journey to accepting it was the wrong move and that he'd been complicit in his life for too long. 

the vibes, as the kids say, of this one are immaculate.
