Love this book

Schulman creates a fine character in Sophie Horowitz, a narrator with a distinctive, singular voice. What I love best about Schulman's work is already evident in this early novel. She is a genius at sentence making: "Anyone who pays that much attention to detail spent an hour getting ready, which means they had an hour and decided to spend it getting ready."

Want to read a book about real lesbians? This is it.

There are so few books which really do New York justice the way this one does. And as for representing lesbian lives-- this book goes places "Ellen" and other yuppie-oriented projects wouldn't dare venture. Schulman is at her best in this novel: funny, poignant, thrilling, and sexy.
