I’ll have what she/they’s having! This straight romcom gets a queer reboot from Reductress contributors & proud dykes, Amanda Melhuish and Cat Montesi. Celebrate New Year’s Eve with a ~New Queer~ take on Nora Ephron’s iconic New Year’s Eve film. We’ve also replaced the interviews with real sappy love stories from real LGBTQ+ couples, to shine a light on every letter. <3
