DESCRIPTION:
Beneath the sex, music, drugs and drama, you'll find something true and timeless: a search for love, for queer family, for meaning, for connection, and affirmation.. Meet The Crew. Georgie--a hopeless romantic with a weakness for punk-rock-girls even if they consistently trample her heart.

On the other hand, it pales by comparison. It's almost like the author liked her characters too much to have anything really bad ha. 0 crowd?

A Queer Little Book Megan There's something special about The Creamsickle. It's an erratic, complicated story with characters that are so far from perfect that they could very easily be mistaken for real. In other words, one of the best books I've ever read.Not only is it a good story with interesting characters, but it talks about some important things that usually just get brought up in informational books that never feel like
