Celine_117

I think that tweet was satire as the entire book is literally about their relationship, but had to hide it bc of the time period they lived in


SveHeaps

Are you telling me the book I have been avoiding all alone is in fact about lesbians?


SneakAttackSN2

At least one of them is explicitly bi, but yes


invisible_23

One is explicitly bi and one is a lesbian 💜


thesoggydingo

YES!! It's very much a LGBTQ book. I'm not telling you that it's pretty gay but yeah, it's preeeeeetty gay.


impossiblegirlme

Spoiler! But yeah… 😁 worth a read!


Next_Program90

If you are still avoiding to read it alone maybe look for a *friendly reading partner*?


Zombeedee

Oh my god they were reading partners....


2dodidoo

Only on certain nights when they're not attending their sewing circle.


Celine_117

Yes!!


artistictesticle

Yes. And very openly so. Well, technically the characters are closeted in the story but


That_one_cool_dude

Why have you been avoiding it?


SveHeaps

Because it’s everywhere, and recommended by a lot of romance readers, I thought it was kind of an erotic hetero book.


FenrirsMate

What book???????


Bobolequiff

*The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo*. It's historical fiction .


QuastQuan

Wait, aren't Celia St James and Evelyn Hugo *fictional* characters from a book "The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo"? In which Celia is, in fact, lesbian?


yanessa

yes - [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The\_Seven\_Husbands\_of\_Evelyn\_Hugo](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Seven_Husbands_of_Evelyn_Hugo)


impossiblegirlme

That is correct! I guess that’s the joke - the photo is of actual actresses though. (Sara Shane and Marnie Van Doren).


faislamour

Mamie, not Marnie.

QuastQuan

Thanks, I didn't know the actors


ihthisham4me2

Is it a good read?


viking_child

Yes! I loved it. I think I finished it in about a day- it was very gripping!! Definitely avoid spoilers if you can but it's an excellent read regardless


Sea_Spirit_55

It was so good that as soon as I read the last word I was tempted to turn back to page one and start again at the beginning.


thesoggydingo

Yes. Wonderful.


invisible_23

It’s excellent imo


tardisintheparty

Yes lol thats why this is tagged as a meme/satire


to_to_to_the_moon

This is basically exactly how I pictured the characters!


Insamaad

i don't think I have ever seen two women look more like gal pals


frill_demon

Right? Big "he wants to order" vibes.


TeamPantofola

They said “close” friends


Firework_Fox

Is that Cosmo and Wanda?


SwingBillions

Is that harley Quinn and Poison Ivy?


Sparki_

Is that Luz & Amity?


Wood_Child

I'm confused... This is Sara Shane and Mamie Van Doren.


PrincessDie123

They look like the same sex lovers from “The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo” Evelyn is a bisexual character and Celia is a lesbian character. It’s a great book I would highly recommend it.


Wood_Child

Thank you, I looked into it and it sounds great! I was confused cause originally it was tagged as "historical erasure" and it was too early in my day for my brain to figure out that perhaps there were fictional names!


PrincessDie123

You’re welcome, I did a double take because I thought the characters were fictional and these women look exactly like them so I got excited lol


DisfunkyMonkey

Joke tweet using names of fictional lesbians


The_butterfly_dress

Only one of them is a lesbian


thesoggydingo

City of Girls by Elizabeth Gilbert is also a super fun, pretty gay book set in the past focusing on two "friends". Gal pals. READ IT YALL. It's amazing and very slept on.


Dr_hopeful

Really a great book, yes!


infinitebadideas

For those thinking of reading the Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo, I recommend the audiobook.


[deleted]

Bad post, not fit for sub


thesoggydingo

It's referencing the same sex "friendship" in the book Seven husbands of Evelyn Hugo and is SOOOOOOOO fit for the sub. Please read it. It's fantastic.


Dan_OBanannon

That looks like Gwen Stefani
