A review by kumosayi
Lesbian Love Story by Amelia Possanza

informative medium-paced

1.75

I quite liked some of Possanza’s writing and liked getting to know some earlier lesbians that I didn’t know of. However I couldn’t quite get over the differences in how we view being homosexual. Possanza repeatedly writes that lesbians can have and enjoy sex with men. What, then, is the difference between being bisexual and homosexual? I believe this to be a dangerous mindset. I personally dealt with it growing up, believing I could find male humans attractive if I tried hard enough, even going to a psychologist to “fix” my lack of attraction. If even the label that should work as a home and explanation to girls and women like me includes finding men attractive, what should we call people like me? 

That alone is not the reason for the low score alone though. I found most of the book rather boring and had to force myself to finish it. I don’t think it’s worth either the time or money.
