I loved this because it's the first book to really reassure me that there are lots of other people like me. It's non-fiction but quite easy to read. Would recommend it to anyone who's Jewish, queer, or neither! I love the self-deprecating Jewish humour throughout it too. I shall be keeping it on my shelf and stroking it lovingly at regular intervals, so if anyone wants to borrow it they're welcome. (
