Beautiful, tender and heartwarming. Grants great insight into what queer life was like during the late 1960’s and early 1970’s. It almost reminds me of Stone Butch Blues. I loved reading this book and I hope whoever is reading this review will too 🙂 !

The book is lovely. A heartfelt journey of queer discovery set in a time even more fraught with challenges than it is today.
The characters are vibrant and interesting, the story is well paced and hooked me so much I read the entire book in one sitting. I loved shifting gears, I loved this and I look forward to whatever is next.

Breaking From Frame by Jazz Forrester has quickly become one of my top reads of the year, so much so that the second I finished the e-book I ordered a physical copy to keep on my shelf for future re-reads. I went into this novel unsure what to expect… and was instantly pulled into a beautiful, heartbreaking, and ultimately hopeful story of self-discovery and love.
The story follows Claire, a suburban homemaker in 1969, whose life is upended when Jackie, a bold and modern photographer, moves in next door. What begins as friendship slowly blossoms into desire, freedom, and a truth Claire can no longer ignore. Their relationship is slow-burn and rich with longing. The emotional weight of their journey is overwhelming, but totally worth it! I laughed, I cried, and I hurt for these characters, but through it all I felt hopeful.
This book is a powerful reminder of how far we’ve come, and how far we still have to go when it comes to acceptance and queer visibility. I honestly had no words when I finished, just that deep, lingering ache and awe only a truly great book can provoke.
If you’re looking for a sapphic romance that doesn’t shy away from reality, that embraces longing and self-acceptance, and delivers a love story you’ll never forget, Breaking From Frame is one I’ll recommend over and over.
