Definitely the longest book in human existence. Far too many characters to keep up with but had some interesting points.

Benji is the epitome of that “Aren’t you tired of being nice? Don’t you just wanna go apeshit?” And I love that for him. I hope he and Nick kiss forever and ever.

All books should begin with the protagonist having lesbian sex with a hot butch musician.
(Gets a four because the story kind of drops momentum once Paul goes to Cali.)

A book that I put off finishing for months because I was so sad at the idea of saying goodbye.
(Not to get sappy but) this book definitely helped shape and form my butch identity and made me feel a little less alone. (Much to the fear of the author in the intro).
I’m not religious but this book is like The Bible to me. Go dykes!
