Really enjoyed this book. Definitely recommend for someone coming out who needs something to relate to. Wish I'd had this book sooner.

I personally loved this book. It may not be the most well written book I've ever read, but it is incredibly insightful. I loved how it brought together opinions and advice from a a huge group of lesbians, ranging from young to old, butch to femme. It offers something for every type of lesbian. The stories are very touching and thought provoking. This book will forever remain in my mind as one of my favorites.

Was a truly AWESOME book. It was great to hear not only the two authors accounts on the various topics/dealings throughout the book, but also all of the stories from other women. Took long enough for a book like this to come out!!!!!

Fun enough for a light read.

One of the best books i've read.

I doubt that many have read a book so honest and truthful. Lauren Levin and Lauren Blitzer are not afraid to share their happiness, heartbreaks, and adventures of coming into their own sexuality. The honesty of this book really made me feel that I was not alone. I love they way that they broke the book down by different subjects and experiences. This is one of my favorite books that I own. I hope these girls will write again in the future!

I adore this book because its sooo helpful for anyone questioning their same sex attractions and it's helped me a lot since I don't have many gay friends and I'd recommend this book to everyone who's LGBTQ :)

I realy wanted to like this book, but oh, how it grated on my nerves.

I deplore the haughty sniff of superiority toward butch women. The authors -- the two Laurens -- appear to be preoccupied with their man-magnet looks and ultra-cool attitudes. (The bars! The NYC fashion!)They talk about "rocking mini skirts," Prada shoes and trendy haircuts. You're fashionable! You can pass for straight! How nice for you. This reader adores butch women, and the trails they've blazed politically, in literature and in culture.

The structure is a mess. The so-called guide for new lesbians heading up each chapter is as shallow as its authors. For a book that supposes to be told from so many view points, all the voices sound the same. And the story by the lesbian who spent a year in a prolonged menage-a-trois (including a perfectly proportioned man, no less)reads like a PG-13 version of the kind of overworked fantasy you find in Penthouse magazine.

If you want to learn anything about gay culture, coming out or the ongoing campaign for equal rights for GLBT people, check out classics of queer literature. If you're looking for a slightly creepy, softcore girls-gone-wild read that seems like it was written for anxious adolescent males, well, this book is for you.

Love this book. It helped me get through a really tough time of trying to find myself and get me through finding someone who would understand me and love me for who I was. It was the best thing I could have asked for.

This book is really basic, I wouldn't say I learned anything from reading it. I did read it from cover to cover and somehow was hoping at each page that I would get to learn something new at the next one but alas... Then again, I have been around the lesbian/gay community for years and have been exposed to a lot of things, obviously this book is more meant to the person who didn't have this chance.

Really not relevant to anyone unless you are an ultra lipstick-lesbian only attracted to other ultra-lipstick lesbians. I felt a prejudice towards anyone who is not into Coach bags and Manolo Blahniks. Almost every story was written by middle to upper-class Jewish lesbians so many wouldn't relate. Also only good for those who are in the contemplative or just coming-out stage. I was hoping for something better when I scored this at a used book sale. Bummer.

This book wasn't what I was expecting it to be. I saw it in a bookstore, and the title caught my eye. It was definitely an impulse purchase.

The only two things I have in common with most of the women in this book are that I am a woman attracted to women, and I am a Jewish-American lesbian. Other than that, there are no commonalities at all. I knew I was in trouble when they started rattling off designer brands (of shoes? clothes? I have no idea).

Basically, this book is all about upper class uber-femmes. It's obvious that the two authors have only a limited experience with lesbians; nearly all of the stories feature Jewish-American women who live in New York City. The one South American woman whose story is featured here admits that she grew up in an exceptionally wealthy neighborhood. Yeah, I can't relate to that at all.

I also disliked the not-so-subtle digs at those who identify as "butch." I don't like labels, and I don't fall handily on the femme-butch spectrum. I love football, ball caps, and flannel shirts (hey, they're warm and comfy!). But I also like doing my hair, wearing heels (although not $1000 pairs), and putting on makeup. But, with the exception of my first girlfriend, I am attracted to butches, and I felt like my attraction to them was being denigrated.

This book doesn't offer much for advice, either. Each chapter has a page or two of "advice," which is shallow at best, and then is followed by groupings of stories that are supposed to illustrate...something. Let's put it this way: one of the longest chapters in the book is titled "Hooking Up With Straight Girls."

I think that says it all.
