While I enjoyed the book, i found it very dated. If I would have read it when I came out, just a few years after the book, I probably would have loved it.

I suppose if I’d read this before Curious Wine, I may feel differently. However, that’s not the case. I enjoyed the story, the chemistry, the beauty in that moment of exact rightness some of us experience when we reject the norm to instead delve into those terrifying, deep waters of the unknown........... but the husband? Oof. So much Paul Blake content. A truly wonderful job of turning him into a monster. I hated him. But I could have done without so much of his insight and so much about him.

Another book I got when it first came out and have read several times. It’s one of the classics.

A lot has changed since this was written, thankfully.

For lesbian novels from the mid-'80s set in California, this is the best I've read.
