3.5? idk. i enjoyed the concept of the book and was compelled to keep picking it up, but the author really frustrated me at times. her frequent comments on “femme erasure” and “femmephobia” lacked a sense of self awareness. i understand that it’s frustrating to sometimes not be read as queer in queer spaces, but as a white cis femme she is arguably part of the most privileged group of lesbians. she even talked about how rare it is to see a femme for femme couple??? do we live on the same planet?? i don’t mind when the author inserts themselves into nonfiction but i thought it went too far here. if another author tackled this i think it could have been a 5 star.
