The Dykonic Handbook: The ultimate guide to living your best queer life


Overview

Calling all dykes, divas and non-binary cuties! Are you familiar with: The difference between a black cat and a golden retriever lesbian? How to tell if she’s flirting or just giving you a compliment? Why a £950 pair of Diesel boots alone does not make you a ‘diesel dyke’? (Something Amy learned the hard way.) If not, don’t worry, as luckily breakout star of BBC’s I Kissed a Girl – and everyone’s favourite lesbian big sister – Amy Spalding is on hand to answer all these queer conundrums and more, to help you to live, laugh and love all things lesbian. This book covers everything you need to live your best sapphic life – such as finding community, dating, and navigating breakups – as well as running through queer terminology and key cultural touchstones. As well as sharing anecdotes from her own bumpy queer journey, Amy speaks to queer elders and asks them to share the advice they would tell their younger selves, and also includes her top queer FAQs as most often asked by her followers. Whether you’re just embarking on your sapphic journey, are a fully-fledged member of the queer community, or fit somewhere in between, this is the ultimate guide to navigating queerness in the modern age and being absolutely DYKONIC, daaarling.
