I wish this book was around when I was in high school! Real stories about what its like to be a lesbian/trans teenager. ( )

My sister read this book, then said that it had it's interesting parts but warned some of the stories were boring.
I loved it. It may have had a few slow parts, but I didn't find it boring.
I thought it was written well and had a lot of emotion, which made it hard to put down but hard to read at times.
I'm not sure which was my favorite, but I love that "Two Part Invention" was at the end. I think it tied up the book beautifully.

Because it was lbgt, I'm straight, and hadn't read a lot of lbgt before, I wasn't expecting to relate to it as much as I did
I'd recommend this to anyone who's felt hopeless or insecure when it comes to relationships ( )

Julie Ann Peters has already distinguished herself as a master at writing full-length novels dealing with GLBQT issues. With GRL2GRL, she establishes that she's also good at writing short stories with great characters and in-depth storylines.

The book includes ten short stories, all dealing with girls and their feelings of love, loneliness, passion, and betrayal. There's a story about a girl on the subway, the object of another girl's affection, and the strength it takes to gather the courage to make that initial connection. There's the girl who, although she wants very badly to join in on a meeting of fellow gays and lesbians, isn't sure she'll ever be brave enough to do so. You can read about an online Internet relationship that progresses quickly, and falls apart amidst lies and betrayal. Or you can read the story TWO-PART INVENTION, my personal favorite, about two girls who have always been friends, and the love that grows from that friendship.

Whether you're a lesbian or not, a questioning teen or not, you'll find something satisfying in these stories. They're heartfelt and wonderful, whether you read them one at a time or all at once. ( )

This book is a set of short stories with lesbian, bisexual, and transgender teens as the main characters. Some are heartbreaking, some will make you laugh out loud, all of them will make you wish you had more time to spend with these interesting and unique characters. If you like stories that don't finch at showing real emotions, try this collection of stories about dating, love, and finding yourself. ( )
