I got the audiobook, and the narrator was really expressionless. So that wasn't great. Also, it had incredibly incredibly cringy parts, including the author's insistence on using the phrase "lady love" to describe someone's hypothetical sapphic partner.
But, despite all this it gets 3 stars from me, because although I'm sure a lot of this advice is pretty common, there were some pretty useful bits. An interesting psychological analysis of u-haul lesbians for instance. It might also be to do with the fact that I generally hate dating books, and thus haven't read any others to compare it with.
All that being said, I am sure Aryka could have zhuzhed it up a bit. I'm sure there's a way that she could have spun this piece of writing so that it was a bit funnier, with a bit more personality. It was, on the dry side.

It didn't really give great advice specifically for lesbians, but rather just good advice for what to do when you're dating. Things like how to tell if your relationship is toxic, if you're a serial monogamist, and how you need to take care of you before you can date other people. In that respect, it was an interesting read. 3 stars.

February 3, 2017ugh wtf. I am not the audience for this book. I only finished it because it was super short and a #bookclub4m pick. twin flame is just as dumb as soulmates as a concept and did you have to quote yourself as well as use text blocks with your autobiographical info ??? *Huff*
