As an asexual, I was grossed out by all the sex. Seriously, there's a lot of sex.

WLW doesn't bother me, sex in general is gross.

Other than that, I thought this was a good "coming of age" queer novel about being a lesbian in a society that says women can't have sex together. I'm sure they must be able to, though I dont know how (and don't want to know).

Classic: yes, like Are You There God, It's Me, Margaret?
