- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5This is one of those books that I read more for the history than the story itself. I can only imagine how groundbreaking this novel was when it was first published in 1979; not only does it focus on the lesbian relationship between two teen girls (and, altogether, it's painted in a good light), but it also mentions the Women's Liberation movement, too. So, yeah, definitely a book that was probably given the stink eye quite frequently.The book does have a tendency to come off as dated. The characters "rap" quite a bit, and it took me a second to figure out that they meant having a conversation instead of, well, trying to be the next Eminem. And "does a chicken have lips" - haha, I can remember my mom saying that ALL of the time when I was little.The writing style is rather sparse, and the author has difficulty picking one narrator per chapter, which leads to a lot of switching between narrators at a dizzying pace. That is quickly becoming one of my pet peeves in fiction.Shout out to the character who doesn't shave her legs; for some reason, that's still controversial to this day!
