This is such a groundbreaking novel for the 1970s. I loved how it was all about being true to yourself despite all of the misogyny and homophobia that the main character faced!
I did feel like there was not much depth to Molly's relationships with other women and it did feel quite whimsical at times. However, it did reflect the fact that sexuality is very fluid and we are not 100% anything. I would give the novel a 3.5 stars!
