Live, Laugh, Lesbian: Navigating Life as a Lesbian in the 21st Century by Helen Scott

funny inspiring reflective medium-paced

2.5

I was really excited for this book, seeing the word lesbian in the title. I read a lot of books like these when I was a baby gay, and they'd helped me a lot. I don't think I'd recommend this one to a baby gay though - a lot of the content was good, but there was also several mixed messages, a few of which read pretty negatively towards lesbians, or just honestly rubbed me the wrong way. I did appreciate the inclusion of other experiences, but I'm not sure this accomplishes what Scott wanted. The audience felt all over the place - I couldn't tell if this was for teens, or adults, or what, though I think maybe it was supposed to just be for anyone new to being queer. I don't know, I think I just wanted other things out of this book based on what it seemed like it was about. I did enjoy the amount of stories Scott injected, and I liked reading about the queer life they had before the Internet became huge.
