5.0

Rubyfruit Jungle is unlike anything I’ve read before. It was fast-paced and witty while addressing such evil injustices which is rare in a book dealing with queer themes. Molly is such a strong protagonist and I couldn’t get enough of her story. I’ve always loved a coming of age novel, so one featuring a lesbian main character was a dream come true.
