Girls Can Kiss Now by Jill Gutowitz

emotional funny reflective medium-paced

3.5

This was an interesting collection of autobiographical essays but it wasn't exactly what I was expecting and I probably should have read the blurb more closely. However I think it was still worth the read, especially once I realised the essays were very much from Gutowitz's personal perspective rather than a more inclusive, intersectional look at sapphic pop culture. I found her writing funny for the most part but the tone does vary quite a lot, from light-hearted essays about celebrities to a few really hard-hitting ones, including her experience of an abusive relationship. A few of the pop culture references were too US-centric for me but since Gutowitz is the same age as me I did understand and appreciate most of them.
