This month Mary and Jenn discuss LGBT representation in fiction, starting with All the Things We Do In The Dark by Saundra Mitchell. Despite its mediocre cover, and its impossible to remember title, All The Things We Do In The Dark has a lot to offer: a relatable protagonist dealing with traumatic past, a sweet same-sex romance, and a horrific murder mystery. Do all of these elements fuse together to create the perfect YA drama, or do these elements, like the vague cover and title, confuse the narrative and frustrate the reader? Tune into this week's episode of Casing The Cover for our review of All The Things We Do In The Dark.

Trigger Warning: All The Things We Do In The Dark discusses dark and traumatic themes including sexual assault and murder and we do discuss those elements in our book review. If these topics may cause distress please consider that before listening to the episode.
