TWL is a thinly disguised autobiography by Radclyffe Hall (Marguerite Radclyffe Hall) about Stephen Gordon, a [gay] woman raised in the English upper class, who experiences her life as a black sheep because she doesn't feel like "normal" girls. From a young age, Stephen realises that she has more in common with the boys than the girls. The book follows Stephen as she is exiled from her upper class home by her image-obsessed mother for her first short-lived affair with a woman and finds solace in writing. It centres around the family she finds with the underground queer community, the strain this puts between her and her mother, and how she handles her new life within the art community.
New Reading: Be More Chill by Ned Vizzini
BMC is about a young man who is extremely anxious, Jeremy Heere. He is obsessed with the tiny ways in which people may consider him and has no. He then learns about a supercomputer in pill form that can communicate directly with the human brain and uses it to become a member of the social elite he adores so much.
