"Epic in scope, Skipstone's stunning book is an unflinching conventional narrative of how queer women are viewed in today's world. It is a journey of gender and sexual discovery. It celebrates the beauty and complexity of queer lives without glossing over the trauma created by a transphobic society. It's the kind of queer narrative we badly need: honest, freeing, and vital. . . . Crystal's House of Queers is beautiful and painful and full of the kind of raw honesty that feels like a true gift."

"A triumphant and poignantly drawn journey of self-acceptance and self-advocacy…The expert pacing and tight plotting keep the pages flying. Featuring an entertaining cast of disable and queer characters, this book focuses on sexual identity, abuse, bullying, family and friendship, and individual desires. This is a page-turner."
—The Prairies Book Review

"The author has a gift of writing dialogues that are perfect and flow naturally, and it is interesting how these dialogues move the story forward while exploring and deepening characterization. The characters are well-developed, fully drawn, and sophisticated, and I enjoyed the ambiance in Crystal's home and the boisterous nature of the characters. One of those books I raced through and would pick up again, thanks to the lively narrative voice and the character depth."

"Crystal's House of Queers by Brooke Skipstone is a sweeping and passionate romance with strong gay themes, following compelling characters. The plot builds up with emotional intensity, and the characters develop throughout the story to a point where they realize it is time to override the prejudices of society, a time to fight: 'Because we love.' This is an immersive narrative with a tense plot and characters that swept me away. Brooke Skipstone's exploration of character and her gift for atmospheric writing are elements that augment the entertainment quality of this emotive and engaging tale."
