Very entertaining but nothing to read in one sitting as it can turn into a bit of a slug. Spread out your reading and start to love these dykes!

4.0

An honest, realistic, and heartwarming portrayal of a group of people (mostly lesbians) living their lives. I found it hard to put down, and it made me laugh more than a few times. The part that I enjoyed less was that it spent a lot of time on the intricacies of US politics - several decades ago. If that kind of thing is your cup of tea, then more power to you, but otherwise, you'll probably do as I did and skim that in order to get back to the relationship drama.
