5.0 out of 5 stars Another great book by Julia Watts, January 13, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: Piece of My Heart (Paperback)

This Watts's most specifically lesbian novel. It is about coming out of the closet in college (specifically Louisville, KY) and entering the dating scene. There is a side splitting scene toward the end that ranks as a comic masterpiece. It was also great fun, since I'm from Louisville, to see the city so well used, particularly Cave Hill Cemetery's landmark Peasley Sphinx which even appears on the cover.

This review is from: Piece of My Heart (Paperback)

I'm not gonna ruin this book for any of you like some other reviews do, but if your comming out of the closet, or even if you've been out for a while you GOTTA read this book! It isnt one of those depressing 'the world hates gays sympathy books', its funny and serious at the same time. I'll definatly be ordering any other book Julia Watts writes, Julia you ROCK! ;-)

This review is from: Piece of My Heart (Paperback)

This book was not only insightful about life after the "coming out," it was just plain *funny.* I chuckled and laughed all the way through. Even better, our earnest heroine is *young* and there are all too few novels about younger lesbians that don't wallow in self-imposed marginalization. Jess reminded me of myself in my early 20s. I didn't have a clue either, and just made it up as I went along, a hopeful romantic.
