Same Sex in the City (So Your Prince Charming Is Really a Cinderella)

... Show More
Same Sex in the City is a one-of-a-kind, sassy guide for gay women (and any woman who has ever looked twice at another woman) by gay women.

The journey from sexual curiosity to finally coming out can be confusing without proper guidance and empowering role models. In Same Sex in the City , Lauren Levin and Lauren Blitzer provide women—gay, straight, and bi-curious alike—with firsthand insight into the advantages and challenges of being a lesbian. In prose that is at once honest and uplifting, the Laurens relate their own experiences and those of the women they interview, as well as offer serious advice, titillating anecdotes, and a positive attitude for girls who know they're gay—and for those who are wondering about their sexuality but are not yet sure whether their Prince Charming is really a Cinderella.

Part confessional, part informational, Same Sex in the City covers the gamut of lesbian life—from dating to heartbreak, and from hooking up with straight chicks to raising a family. It's the book that millions of women have been searching for—a relationship guide that will help every woman come to terms with and celebrate her sexuality, whatever it may be.

I was pleased to find this book, but didn't examine the back cover closely. This is a femme manifesto, celebrating high heels and makeup, and all the trappings of what the authors consider a liberated life. I encourage them to live their "liberated" life where I don't have to read about it.

This book was exactly what I was looking for. Other reviewers had negative attitudes towards the strongly femme road that this book takes - but that's exactly why I loved it. This book is written for a very specific type of lesbian, and that's totally me. If it's not you, then you probably won't enjoy this book. If you are a fashionable, girly-girl, come-from-a-traditional-family-background, type of lesbian then this book is for you.

This was a pretty good book. It is a book of essays about the lesbian experience and the things that can go along with it.

DNF, this was recommended as empowering for femme lesbians… lol no, maybe if you’re ultra-wealthy. While I can excuse some of the outdated language, in general it was condescending, uppity and judgemental. Also had this weird vibe that being a lesbian is all about partying. I got through about 30 pages before I had to put it down. See other reviews for details.
