Reviews
Ever-hilarious and insightful...Gutowitz explores how lesbianism went mainstream. -Bustle, The Most Anticipated Books Of 2022 Incisive and funny...Gutowitz blends candid reflections on the experience of being closeted with witty analysis on how the media affects one's perception of the world. Fans of the personal essay will be eager to see what Gutowitz does next. -Publishers Weekly (starred review) Shines with humor, vulnerability, and poignancy...formally inventive and searingly personal...A witty essay collection about pop culture and queerness. -Kirkus Reviews Readers who recall where they were - because these iconic moments were lifechanging - when Orange is the New Black debuted or when paparazzi pictures of Lindsay Lohan and Samantha Ronson arguing were published will relish re-living their importance with Gutowitz. -Booklist Every single sentence glitters, quivers, and shakes with a kind of unhinged lesbian brilliance that is both wickedly funny and deeply self-aware. GIRLS CAN KISS NOW is not only the gayest book of essays I've ever read - it's one of the best. -Gabrielle Korn, author of Everybody (Else) is Perfect Jill Gutowitz's brain is full of lightning bolts. I loved every word of this hilarious and heartfelt book. -Diablo Cody, award-winning screenwriter and author of Candy Girl GIRLS CAN KISS NOW snaps, crackles and pops with sharp one-liners and biting wit. But when Gutowitz deftly uses her encyclopedic knowledge of pop culture to interrogate her own personal history and relationship to her queerness, her prose reaches a level of depth and tenderness that left me reeling with emotion. 10/10. You must read this book if you're gay, human, or both. -Ryan O'Connell, author of I'm Special and Just by Looking at Him
