This book... I can't say enough

I found this book in my school library, and, always being on the lookout for good lesbian fiction to relate to, I figured I'd pick it up and read it... I didn't have very high expectations, to tell the truth, but after the first few pages I was pulled in... the writing is so pure, so expressive; it made me laugh and cry and... Well, put it this way: half way through I stopped reading it, and went to meet my girlfriend... she said, "You're radiant! In such a good mood!" and honestly, it was this book that did it. On a different note, after about 30 pages or so, I noticed how many little familiarities I found in the descriptions of the heroine's boarding school life... about the campus, the classes, the dorms. I went to check the card catalog and sure enough she is an alumnae of my school. And though this is categorized as fiction, it is honestly only thinly-veiled autobiography. It was like a little revelation, to find this woman's story, so similar to my own. As is apparent, I cannot recommend this book more... this is one of the few books about which I will say to my friends: "Read this. Now."

An adorable book!

This book is one I wished I would have had when I was in high school. It is about a girl discovering that she is falling in love with her friend, who happens to be a girl. It's adorable to read as she journals her feelings, and her uncertainty, excitment, and everything comes out on paper. Parent's of gays would do well to read this book. I could easily relate to the feelings portrayed inside by the lovable character, Stevie. I'm online now searching for other books by this author.
