F/F Friday: Kissing Kate

Lauren Myracle’s Kissing Kate was one of those lesbian books in the early aughties that I was too embarrassed to check out at the time (the other one that stands out in my mind is Empress of the World, although there may well have been others). It’s too bad, though, because I finally read the book this week, and it’s really good.

When the book begins, long-time friends Lissa and Kate are not speaking. The exact reasons why unfold slowly, but the title tells us the basics: the girls kissed each other, and neither of them know how to deal with it.
