Exactly as advertised: a butch dyke gardener and a genderqueer librarian have a whole lot of sex! Sometimes they do other stuff, but mostly they have sex. It's not always the most exciting sex to ME, but it's definitely the most exciting sex to the characters (and is likely very exciting sex to a lot of people who would want to read this book) and I enjoyed it on the level of a reader enjoying when characters are having a great time!

Frank, delightfully debauched, detailed and charmingly grumpy, this is a bit of an erotic stream-of-consciousness novel about two older queers, one butch and one genderqueer, who fuck and fall in love in modern San Francisco. In some ways this one didn't feel super well-plotted, more like a person's oral memoir, but it's such an interesting life and so refreshing to see characters with joyfully complicated gender and sexual identities embracing their changing bodies and changing lives with unapologetically hot sex and intimacy. I really liked this one.
