I'm going to be giving this three stars for historical importance but I want y'all to know I do NOT vibe with it. I would eat it up if it was pre-Stonewall pulp but I feel like we should've matured a bit by the early '70s. Need more books by Black lesbians that are my genre so I don't have to feel bad about disliking stuff like this and Rosewater (yuck).

Ok, so. She just raped her girlfriend. I'm used to plot points like this in lesbian pulp but this book was published well into the 1970s.

Was everyone at Naiad Press mentally well? Was Ms. Shockley ok? I understand that consent is complicated, but did she really have to write in 3 instances of Terry saying no AND have Renay push her down onto the bed????
