Same Sex in the City (So Your Prince Charming Is Really a Cinderella)
Review Date: 9/12/2016


I read this book some time ago but as there are not any reviews I figured I would add one. This book came into my life after I came out, but while I was figuring out what it meant to be a femme lesbian in the city. This book made me realize that I was not alone, that coming out did not really change my identity (I already was who I am), and that my life had not been turned upside down. I did not relate to all of the stories, but they have stayed with me and gave me an orientation to the spectrum of women along the Kinsey scale. This is a solid book for someone going through the coming out process.

This book is just a bit too fantasy for my taste. I did love the overall story arc and certain elements of self discovery. I liked how she dealt with balance and unpacking what it means to have 'light and dark.' However Other incidents and characters in the book just felt like this was really just a forward to a longer story to come. I just never really invested in the main character and there was an incident part way through the book which (without any spoilers) caused me to emotionally check out of the book. I will read more of her books, just not this series.
