Mon Dieu, Love - Jane V Blunschi - Bog

"Winner of The 2022 Clay Reynolds Novella Prize, selected by Renee Gladman. Set in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, Mon Dieu, Love is the story of Elise and Carrie Briggs, a pair of sisters stuck in a non-stop loop of relationship mistakes, attempts at sobriety from drugs, alcohol, and general lesbian drama, and accidental, unwelcome emotional growth.
