Piatkus Books I Think I Like Girls Discovering Your Sexual Identity.

by Rosie Day

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 can understand why this may be a useful book to people who are discovering their sexuality. there’s a lot of conversations around not putting pressure on yourself and allowing your sexuality to grow with you, to not perform to what you think a gay person should be like and to take care of yourself.

with that being said, I had a few issues with this. I think there were too many tonal changes, I understand this is a story written about the authors experiences so there’s going to be personality that shines through, but this just happened at the most inappropriate of times. for example: talking about her experiences with an eating disorder and how she saw a teenage girl refuse help and storm down the stairs and she though “yas queen get that calorie work out in”? similarly, discussing the impact of mental health on LGBTQ people and how dangerous it can be and then ending it with a high school musical reference.

I think it’s important to be relatable and down to earth whilst still being respectful and educational about the topics you have chosen to discuss and unfortunately I don’t think this author managed to do that

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.
