Briar Girls

“Briar Girls is sexy and dangerous and full of liars, just as any fairytale should be.”—Maggie Tokuda-Hall, author of The Mermaid, The Witch, and the Sea“Briar Girls is a tantalizingly dark and majestic fairy tale filled with love, betrayal, and the ways the two inevitably intersect. Strap yourself in for a romantic and magical adventure.”—Dahlia Adler, author of Cool for the Summer“A bewitching, tangled web of a story, with all the glamor, truth and nuance of the best and oldest fairytales.” —Laura E. Weymouth, author of The Light Between Worlds and A Treason of Thorns“For readers whose criteria are ‘bisexual sex-positive fairy tale,’ this is it.” – BCCB“An atmospheric coming-of-age fantasy about finding independence.” – Kirkus Reviews“Wells’s straightforward handling of bisexual Lena’s sex-positive attitude is a breath of fresh air.” – Publishers Weekly“Briar Girls by Rebecca Kim Wells is an anthem for queer female self-discovery in fantasy form.” – Shelf Awareness“Readers of twisty fairy-tale retellings will be enchanted.” – Booklist
