I Think I Like Girls: Discovering Your Sexual Identity

by Rosie Day

That dawning wait a hot minute, I think I like girls. But what comes next? If you're considering dating women for the first time, it can feel like stepping into a swirling vortex of confusion and excitement. Where's the roadmap? How do you find your community? The internet is a black hole of advice, and you just wish you could hear from someone who gets it - who can help you navigate it in a healthy way.

Enter Rosie. She's been through the confusion, the chaos, the internal 'What the heck is going on?' moments, but also the beauty in all that mess. In this book, Rosie pulls from her own experiences and the stories of other women to give you candid, heartfelt wisdom on what it's like to explore your sexuality. Plus, she tosses in some soul-soothing exercises to help you feel confident while you figure it all out.

From those first heart-racing girl crushes to coming out (on your own terms), navigating the dating world, building relationships and finding real community, Rosie's here to walk you through it. I Think I Like Girls is a story of growth, healing and transformation that'll have you feeling empowered and on the road to exploration in no time.

I did like this book and how the author explained their experience with their identity, but I did feel like some things are very stereotypical, but I did like learning more about this topic.

From the beginning “Before I embark on anything in life, I like to think, ‘is this something that would have got me institutionalised in the nineteenth century?’ - and if the answer is yes, then I’m on the right track. Liking girls is one of those acts.” I was HOOKED. This has to be one of my favourite books of all time. I found it extremely relatable and it instantly became a new favourite of mine.

I really WANTED to love this book but I just didn't. I struggled my way through it with a whole lot of cringe at the use of the words 'lol', 'obvs' and 'babe'. It felt less like the personal story or memoir that I thought it would be, despite the dear diary entries, and more like a brief summary of every self help book I've ever read thrown together in one place. As someone who has personally struggled with my own sexuality, I barely found it relatable and would have potentially rated it lower from a personal enjoyment point of view. BUT I can see how it might benefit other people who are at the start of their sexuality journey - especially if they are younger and potentially a lot less self aware.
