Rave is an instant classic, a coming-of-age story about the secret spaces young women create and the wider social structures that fail them. She captures teenage antics and banter with astute comedic style, simultaneously skewering bullies, a culture of slut-shaming, and the devastating impact of religious zealotry. Afterward, a potent blend of Christian guilt and internalized homophobia causes Lauren to question the experience.Īuthor Jessica Campbell (XTC69) uses frankness and dark humor to articulate Lauren’s burgeoning crisis of faith and sexuality. That evening, Mariah gives Lauren a makeover and the two melt into each other, in what becomes Lauren’s first queer encounter. Mariah has dial-up internet, an absentee mom, anda Wiccan altar – the perfect setting for a study session and sleepover to remember.

Mae Rave yn glasur newydd, yn stori dod-i-oed am y mannau dirgel y mae merched ifanc yn eu creu a’r strwythurau cymdeithasol ehangach sy’n eu methu. That evening Mariah gives Lauren a makeover and they have what becomes Laurens first queer encounter. Mae’r awdur Jessica Campbell ( XTC69) yn defnyddio hiwmor tywyll i gyfleu argyfwng ffydd a rhywioldeb Lauren. Ond mae uogrwydd Cristnogol a homoffobia mewnol Lauren yn gwneud i hi gwestiynu’r profiad.
Mae gan Mariah rhyngrwyd deialu, mam absennol, ac allor Wicaidd – y lleoliad perffaith ar gyfer sesiwn astudio, ac i Lauren cael ei phrofiad cwiar cyntaf. Fel aelodau o eglwys efengylaidd, mae ei rhieni yn ei gwahardd rhag dod â gwerslyfrau ar esblygiad (evolution) adref, felly mae Lauren yn dewis astudio yn nhŷ Mariah. Yn y 2000au gynnar, mae Lauren yn 15 oed, swil a’n casau ei chorff.
