Christine Hutman
I have just broken up with my girlfriend, so I decided to start a journal: A 28-Day Journal of My Crazy Lesbian Breakup (and What the Radio Had to Say About It). Luckily I have my trusty group of friends to help me through the rough patches…but they have a few issues of their own…Tara is playing the role of “mistress” for a woman 20 years her senior. Amy is dealing with the drama of dating a woman who has just come out to her family. Karen, a transgendered lesbian, is hopelessly in love with a bisexual vixen. And, Jared, my heterosexual, sociopathic friend is considering abandoning relationships entirely and joining a monastery. Nice support group, huh? Meanwhile, I’m still in love my (ex)girlfriend that lives 1000 miles away. I’m hoping we can get back together, even though we can’t seem to stop fighting about another woman who is relentlessly competing for my attention…her mother! Move over, Jerry Springer! The truth really is stranger than fiction sometimes…

“[Readers] will find they have a hard time putting this book down. . . A rare fly-on-the-wall opportunity here: It's insightfulness into typical lesbian rituals and the constant contact between two women is dead-on; for many lesbians, this book becomes a how-to and a how-not-to manual all in one."

“I love that Christine helps us acknowledge that [during a breakup] all women have the strength within to put one foot in front of the other while either being gently moved or abruptly pushed through new awaiting doors. . . . Leave your rose colored reading glasses on the bed side table . . . This is as real as it gets.”
The Artist Shannon, creator of Phantasy Choppers ® and GearHeadz ®
“This story is your chance to get a rare and painfully true insight into the immense complexities in relationships between lesbians.”
Fran Bailey, OutInTheSuburbs.com
“A roller coaster of a relationship ride filled with reflections that resonate with laser sharp insight. I found myself both laughing and shaking my head throughout. Christine's work is an easy read and her clever references throughout make for an entertaining trip down the proverbial relationship lane.”
