I so badly wish that almost every book about lesbians was not about heartbreak, but this is one of the better ones. Told in the first person, this is the story of falling for a soft-butch woman, losing yourself to her, and then losing her and yourself. It's funny, sad, and a quick read. I liked this quite a bit. I hope the protagonist ends up with a wonderful woman, despite the repeated (and shitty) claims from Finn that she'll end up with a man. 

Despite *so* many breakups as a dyke, I've never had one that goes on and on like the one in this tale, so I read this with a sick fascination. How do you not just... walk away? It seems both pointless and sad, but maybe that's the whole point?
