Not only is this book, that is authored by TWO people, unaffecting, it’s not even really written by them. They’ve got an intro in every chapter, and that’s basically it. It’s a collection of people’s stories. That is something that should appear in GoNYC magazine, not in a book. This is the first of it’s kind, and I expected it to move me. It’s not informative and it’s not different. It’s full of cliche’s and there’s even a rip of a dashboard song. “Turning to you is like falling in love when you’re 10.” If you’re going to have most of your book written for you by real people, at least have what you write be REAL and YOURS. Even Greg Behrendt’s “It’s Called a Breakup Because It’s Broken” is more effective than this. This is the book that stereotypes are made of.

It arrived as scheduled and for what I could see it good shape until it was droped by the post man in a ranny day and my dog found it first, so I found the book all wet and part of the cover bitten up and torn.
Luckly, once dried up the content was readable, so I got to read it and I loved it (and that’s what matters).
The different stories and explanations of the lesbian vocabulary are great!

Definitely geared toward the 18-21 year-old femme crowd. Although I fell into that demographic at the time of purchase, it still wasn’t very helpful and certainly wasn’t empowering. I hadn’t yet come out to myself, and I honestly think it made the process even more confusing. I agree with other readers’ negative critiques in terms of content quality, etc. I am still on the hunt for a better book…

this was a great book, with a lot of insight from many walks of life. price is a bit high though, considering it isn’t that long and is paperback.

I want to thank the authors and the wonderful women who contributed their stories to this book. When I came out several years ago, it was a scary time as I had the same stereotypical views of what a lesbian was as the next person. I was unsure of myself and even more scared that I would never find people like me, which is to say a femme girl who happens to like femme girls. Through the years, I have discovered that this world does indeed exist. In a way, this book has reinforced to me just how many of us there are out there and it will give the rest of society a chance to see into this cross-section of the lesbian world. It was so great to read so many of these stories and know exactly how these women were feeling and what they were thinking. It has also been a great way to get my friends and family to better understand exactly where i’m coming from. Thank you again for this great book!!
