There aren't that many up-to-date lesbian romance novels out there. This is a bit shallow but a fun/cute read nonetheless.

Another great book. Lots of neat stories from other women about the lesbian lifestyle.

I would really recommend this book to all lesbians-to-be and confused lesbians or simply lesbians who would like an advice or two. It is a real vade-mecum of how, when and why. Reading it helps one feels less lonely, less stupid and more part of a world so rarely described with realistic humour in pure Yiddish style. Well done Girls!!

A nice book, extremely well-intentioned, with a very slight daffy undercurrent. Many of the girls writing in the book are self-admitted JAPs/WASPs with a lot of disposable money and a penchant for shopping, alcohol, and gettin' pretty. The absurd side of the book is when they start talking about the family cruise they came out on, the heart-to-heart they had with a parent on an exotic beach, or how they "popped a Valium to calm down before approaching a hottie."

All this noted, there's a real strength to the idea of a book written by gay women who do not outwardly appear to be gay women - something I definitely relate to, despite not being of the ultra-femme, Jimmy Choos-wearing set. I enjoyed reading the personal recollections of girls who had to work that bit harder to be respected by their friends and family (who thought they were going through a phase) and the culture they entered (who thought they were experimenting). Not every story is dropping in wisdom, but there's a lot of honesty here - even with the occasional shallow aside about perfume and cute little skirts.

Definitely a book to enjoy if not outright treasure, and a nice one to lend to friends who are just coming out - but may not be interested in leaping headfirst into the cropped cut and plaid flannel stereotype.

Best book ever, I just couldn't get enough of it. I used to hate reading before I read this book; I was so hooked onto it I stayed up until 6am to read on. I love how it's not written too formal and the stories included are quite fascinating. I expected a follow up or a part two to the book.. I was devastated when I came to the end of it. I highly recommend taking a look at it, especially if you're in your early/late teens! (:

So, I thought this would be interesting. I was wrong, oh so wrong. Blah. I can't even shelf it with the other gay stuff because it failed so hard.

A woman I was dating borrowed this book out to me. As a femme lesbian, I can appreciate the focus on femme-related themes because I often feel that gets poo-poo'd upon by the greater LGBT+ community.

However, I found most of the stories were written by upper-class women and it was impossible to relate to stories of hooking up on fancy cruises and in downtown NYC clubs, or being driven to school in limousines.

I can see the book was written in 2006 and it feels very... dated. Some outdated terms are used. Despite containing stories from many different women, a lot of them sound the same - not much diversity.

It would be interesting to see an updated version of this book written for a 2021 audience.

Love it,Really helped me alot too!

It has wonderful advice, but the advice is over run with multiple stories from supposed women who give you stories to go with the little one paragraph advice. Still an ok book though, but it could have been so much more. This book is mostly for teens/early twenties.

I don't remember if I liked it.

While I would trade this book for a pretty Lawrence girl in a second, lack of the latter has made the personal accounts in this book incredibly helpful while I am figuring out something so important to me and my identity.

This book is an awesome guide for lesbians, with a lot of fun stories in between!
