Kann Firmengeschichte Kunst sein? Diese Frage kann man nur stellen, wenn man noch nicht Zeuge des faszinierenden Langzeitprojekts der chinesischen Künstlerin Xiaowen Zhu geworden ist. Wer Oriental Silk einmal erlebt hat, wird diese Frage mit einem klaren »Ja« beantworten. Denn der Projekttitel ist zugleich der Name einer in den späten 1940er-Jahren in Los Angeles gegründeten Firma. Auf Seidenhandel und Vertrieb spezialisiert, wurde sie über Jahrzehnte von Kenneth Wong und seiner Familie geleitet. Zhu eröffnet durch ihre multisensorischen Werke einen facettenreichen Blick auf ein Unternehmen, das sich wie seine seidenen Produkte durch eine ganz eigene Haptik, Machart, Farbe und Wertschätzung auszeichnet. Die Menschen, Orte und Geschichten, aus denen das Phänomen Oriental Silk zusammengeknüpft ist, bilden eine faszinierende und lebendige Tapisserie, in der Gegenwart und Vergangenheit, Kunst und Leben eng ineinander verwoben sind.XIAOWEN ZHU (*1986, Shanghai) bezeichnet sich selbst als »visuelle Poetin und ästhetische Forscherin«. Für ihre künstlerischen Studien verbindet sie unterschiedliche Materialien und Medien zu einer, ihre spezifische Lebenswelt artikulierenden Erfahrung. Sie lebt und arbeitet in Berlin.

Relatable and H O T
Format: Kindle
This story is so well-written with excellent back stories for the main characters, the relatable religious trauma vibes, and the anxieties of trusting someone after being burned too many times. Also, the sex scenes are extremely hot without being ridiculous.

Sweet Romance
Format: Paperback
This was a sweet love story between two women who are both dealing with some baggage, and figuring out what moving forward looks like. I enjoyed both of the characters and their chemistry. Also really enjoyed the supporting characters, including the animals. Listening to the audiobook, there were some moments where I had to stop and figure out which character was narrating because the voices didn’t sound distinct enough. This only happened a few times, and probably wouldn’t have occurred if I’d been reading the physical copy. Overall, a sweet and enjoyable romance with some depth and great side characters.

Adorable!
Format: Paperback
This book was completely adorable. I loved Thea and Courtney’s story, and the background from the unlikely animal friends to Colin Firth Pride and Prejudice references. Whilst a little turbulent at times with traumatic backstories, I’m glad they got their GHEA, and I loved their journey, and secondary and tertiary characters along the way. It made me smile when I was in a place of exhaustion, so I really loved it.

Not great but not bad!
Format: Audiobook
I loved the audio and I'm so glad there were two narrators!
I really loved the deconstruction rep in this book. It spoke to me in ways that felt real and authentic. I also liked the way the migraine/chronic illness was handled as well.
The reason this is a 3 star to me is that I can't remember the characters names and I just finished this book. The first 50% was pretty forgettable. It was hard for me to get into that first half.
The second half however, I really enjoyed! Courtney and Thea (yes I did just have to look up their names) could have used more fleshing out. Courtney's ex's threats felt like a nothing burger in the end and Courtney's running also didn't hit quite like I wish it had.
The last 50% things finally get moving. These characters finally start sharing with each other and being open and vulnerable but there is still a big secret that get revealed that throws a wrench into the whole thing.
Overall I did enjoy it!

Four and a half stars for this sapphic romance
Format: Paperback
I’m giving this book four and a half stars. There was a lot I really loved about it. The banter between the main characters is lovely, and there were several scenes that are just adorable. They’re complex characters though with their flaws and histories. They have depth. And how they react in a situation isn’t how you might react, but it’s right for that character. It felt truthful and in many ways relatable. I’ve got enough religious trauma that I can definitely relate, and although I’ve never been a catholic, I have what I think of as catholic guilt…in that I feel guilty for cutting my family out of my life despite the death threats, hateful comments, and constant hit my self esteem and mental health takes. I can even understand hiding physical health issues, because people definitely do treat you differently, also there’s trauma that goes back there too.
I loved the play of the word stars used in the title, and how it fits both main characters so well. It’s super clever.
I know some people were disappointed at this story, and I have to say that it left me going into the book feeling down about it, but instead I really enjoyed it (minus the breakup/not breakup). The ending was incredibly satisfying for me.
