So You Want to Be a Lesbian? 21 reviews Liz Tracey, Sydney Pokorny
St. Martin's Griffin, 1996
Humorous Satire for LGBT Pop Culturists
+ Excellent!

Oranges Are Not the Only Fruit 51 reviews Jeanette Winterson
Grove Press, 1997
Meaningful novel
+ Coming of Age Story + Very different but very interesting and quite good
