Punk Like Me

As a lesbian, you get used to books where a young lesbian just coming out ends up sad and alone at the end for the crime of being gay. This is an exception and one worth reading. JD Glass has created an excellent character in Nina, someone with integrity and heart. She has some really tough times, but through it all, maintains who she is. It's gritty and realistic and the best of JD's work since she refuses to read her past novels before continuing the story, creating inconsistencies in the lives of her characters, and then jumps genre with them in later books. While that bugs me, it might not bug you and you do get to learn more about Fran and Sam in later books. Plus, Glass knows how to write about great love and does pretty hot work show more with sex scenes. I also recommend Red Light, except for the last chapter when the genre jumping begins. show less
