Back to Basics: A Butch-Femme Anthology Reviews


  • Isa

    Fuck this. Lmao. Every other story in this book about how butches are inevitable transitioners, or how stone butches are frigid selfish bitches, or butches don't know how to satisfy femmes, or dysphoric butches are violent male oppressors, or butch4butch women are "faggots" who need to get with "real women." I was reading this slowly with my girlfriend, supposedly for fun, and the language these authors use is so frequently outright callous and nasty that I honestly just got upset and went to bed half the time. Like what the hell was the point? Don't bill a collection as butch/femme romance if you're going to spend all your time talking about how disgusting and worthless one half of that dynamic is. Don't bother picking this one up. I'm sorry I slogged through it. I'm REALLY sorry I own it. This thing might need to be ceremonially burned.

    I loved this anthology! Seriously, the stories were hot and the romance was sincere. Usually I have a hard time finding women loving women romance/erotica stories that are actually hot. I am sad that it took me so long to read this!

  • Megan

    My beloved has a story in this book, check it out! "Pandora's Box"

  • Risa

    Blech. Seriously. Pedestrian, painfully cliche, AND boring, which all together should get get you ex-communicated from being gay. If I want pedestrian, cliche, AND boring, I'll read chick-lit.
