This book was perfect!

I wanted to read some short stories about and written by lesbian/bi women, and saying this hit the spot isn't exactly accurate. It was more like fuel to the flame. Now I need to find more. The stories are funny, sweet, and so sincere. There are young lesbians, old lesbians, butch and femme, and even a bi woman or two, though of course they don't call themselves that ("no one says the B word!").

In true short story form, I read one per sitting though I think I could have finished the book in one sitting if I had wanted to. They are easy to read and enthralling. If you're in the mood for short stories about lady-loving-ladies, this book is a must.
