Summary:

Who could possibly write about it with more heart and wit than Leslea Newman, one of America's funniest and most well-respected lesbian writers? In voices that range from silly to clever to somber, Ms. Newman dissects lesbian romance with a surgeon's precision: A college student gets extra credit in the arms of her English professor. A '70s bra burner and a Gen-X waitress learn they have more in common than they ever imagined possible. On a Saturday trip to the mall, two teenagers in love do a bit more than window-shop. Whether the stories are serious, as in "Keeping a Breast," in which a woman discovers a lump in her lover's breast, or hilarious, as in "Flight of Fancy," in which a femme surprises herself by getting hot and bothered over another femme, She Loves Me, She Loves Me Not showcases Ms. Newman's talent for portraying lesbian love with brutal honesty, in all its glory and not-so-glory.
