When Rosie first embarked on exploring her sexuality, she didn't know where to start and spent a long time longing for something that didn't feel possible to her. Every woman wants to be able to explore their sexuality, but it can be hard to approach dating in a way that feels authentic when the information out there is limited, and you may not have friends in the queer community already. So maybe the first step is to turn to the internet, but that can feel like falling into a black hole of information. Enter Rosie, who has been navigating this journey herself.
I Think I Like Girls shares everything that Rosie wishes she had known when she started dating women, offering answers to the questions that cross everyone's mind. From the first moment of coming out to finding community and navigating relationships, Rosie will offer her own stories and bring in those of other women, with warmth, humour and a happy helping of chaotic dates. She will also address our relationship with our bodies, questions of representation, sexism and issues facing the community.
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.
