My Lesbian Experience with Loneliness by Nagata Kabi
hopeful
reflective
sad
tense
fast-paced
4.5
Very short but I enjoyed it for what it is though I hope Japan legalizes same sex marriage soon for Nagata’s sake and frankly that she joins a book club or lgbt group and makes some friends lol
Heads up the book start off very explicitly talking about her self harm (cutting), ratings disorders (binge eating and anorexia) if those are sensitive topics and she has mom issues tripped up in her lonely romantic/sexual life (tho I agree with her it was tied to her trying to stay childish to get more parental love/unconditional love esp of a parent then anything else) I feel like might be sensitive topic for many.
Also the book ngl made very grateful about the quality of sex education I had formally and informally and even my sex education didn’t mention the clitoris at all being a thing while telling us about particular glands that helped cis men get off vs everything for “girls” was about pregnancy outside of my teachers being feminist enough to say the hymen and idea you can tell if a woman is Virgin is bullshit
