The classic lesbian coming-of-age novel, Annie on My Mind (1982) by Nancy Garden, which was just re-issued a couple years ago in a 25th anniversary paperback edition that includes an interview with the author.

PS - I loved Annie on my mind! ... lesbian book from before the 90's I read that wasn't totally depressing.
If you're willing to read Young Adult books, Annie On My Mind is another absolute classic. (But my favourite YA lesbian book is Hello, Groin for being realistic but not depressing and with a literary touch!)

Two classics of lesbian literature: Isabel Miller's Patience and Sarah and, for young adults, Nancy Garden's Annie on My Mind. Personally, I much prefer Annie on My Mind, but Patience and Sarah is of such historic importance that I can't omit mentioning it.

Annie on my Mind is a classic and very sweet. I haven't read Annie on my Mind, but I have read George Washington, Spymaster. I haven't read Heart-Shaped Box but I've read Annie On My Mind I finished Annie on My Mind and I'd Tell You I Love You, But Then I'd Have to Kill You, and I'm two essays away from finishing Reading in Bed: Personal Essays on the Glories of Reading. There are far to many books started but on the back burner at the moment. Good Moon Rising is great! For a long time when I was in high school my library didn't have a copy of Annie on My Mind and Good Moon Rising was the only YA book with lesbian characters that I could get my hands on. I must have borrowed it a million times! >19 Annie on My Mind is an old favorite for me too, but I want to reread it. I hadn't even known about Good Moon Rising, but it sounds great so I think I'll read that too. Thanks!
