last week i was at my moms office and asked her if she has any books i can take. above her desk there is always an entire shelf full of books that authors have submitted to the Loft for reviews, but some of them never even get read.
well, my mom picked up this book and said "ooh, I bet this is good. I want to read it after you". Of course the book she picked up is called "The Most Beautiful Girl in the World" by Judy Doenges. its about a girl named robin who discovers her love for women. cute, mom.
On page 200:
"Robin couldn't shake her own lack of emotion, lack of thought, the nothingness that was really everything, every moment of want she'd ever had for Lynn, separate and floating. Now that her desire had been fullfilled, she couldn't accept the fact that that same desire might be mobile. Applicable. Able to attach to others. Maybe her love for Lynn wasn't what made her a lover of girls. Maybe her love for girls was the essence of her desire: she worked to fullfill the feeling rather than to covet the subject"
