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.

one of the best books I read over the summer. super enjoyable with some pretty great stories and advice.

this was the perfect book to read in san francisco!

Incredible. Highly recommended. So funny and witty and helpful to any woman out there needing that extra words of advice:)

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 While I can excuse some of the outdated language, in general it was condescending, uppity and judgemental.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.

Honestly, I wish I had this book when I was younger

I really had a good time reading this one. Not that I need any advice in this field, but it’s a good guide for whoever is dipping their feet in these waters for the first time, so to speak. Both authors and some other gals tell their stories and talk about their trials and tribulations regarding issues such as coming to terms with their own sexuality, dating, coming out of the closet, friendship, etc. The book brought back some old memories about my own trials and tribulations, which in a way was kind of healing. It’s definitely an entertaining and illustrative read if you are planning to head down this road. Like they say, if your Prince Charming is a Cinderella after all, don’t fret much about it, just bend down and make sure the glass slipper fits! And of course, enjoy the ride!

Wonderful

As I don't identify as a femme lesbian (or a butch, really more in between) this book really didn't do anything for me.

Ive also had this book for a while. Im mid book and enjoy it. It's a well written book and a good read for those considering/ or may have a sexual orientation than that of "Super straight".
