There's the time the FBI showed up at her door because of something she tweeted about \u003ci\u003eGame of Thrones\u003c\/i\u003e. The pop songs that have been the soundtrack to the worst moments of her life. And of course, the pivotal day when \u003ci\u003eOrange Is the New Black \u003c\/i\u003ehit the airwaves and broke down the door to Jill's own sexuality. In these honest examinations of identity, desire, and self-worth, Jill explores perhaps the most monumental cultural shift of our lifetimes: the mainstreaming of lesbian culture. Dusting off her own personal traumas and artifacts of her not-so-distant youth she examines how pop culture acts as a fun house mirror reflecting and refracting our values--always teaching, distracting, disappointing, and revealing us. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ci\u003eGirls Can Kiss Now\u003c\/i\u003e is a fresh and intoxicating blend of personal stories, sharp observations, and laugh-out-loud humor. This timely collection of essays helps us make sense of our collective pop-culture past even as it points the way toward a joyous, uproarious, near--and very queer--future.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Jill Gutowitz\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1982158506\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781982158507\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Atria Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 03\/08\/2022\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 240\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.65lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.30h x 5.40w x 0.60d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eKirkus Reviews\u003c\/i\u003e 12\/15\/2021\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003ePublishers Weekly\u003c\/i\u003e 01\/10\/2022\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eBooklist\u003c\/i\u003e 01\/01\/2022 pg. 30","brand":"Jill Gutowitz","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44053971730687,"sku":"9781982158507","price":17.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_035a1aa3-0b18-436f-bd63-a984180b5a79.jpg?v=1685027274","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/girls-can-kiss-now-jill-gutowitz-9781982158507","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
