Product Description:
Chase Marin is an 18 year-old girl filled with more confusion than common sense. A daughter of affluent parents, Chase is expected to go to college at the University of Arizona and prove herself as equally successful as her big sister. How can she do that when she doesn't even know herself? Dagny Robertson is everything that the Marin's would want in a daughter - too bad Dagney's own parents don't even know their only child, borne from their intense love, exists. Now, Dagny works on her graduate degree while acting as a TA in Psych 101. Can this older woman, once the worshipped babysitter of a lost eight year-old girl, help Chase find herself?

- FINDING MYSELF
I love this book. I've read it about a dozen times and I am most definitely buying other books written by this author.

Rating:

- One Worth Reading And Re-Reading
I adore this book. The characters seem so real and it's so easy to fall in love with both of them. It starts off slow, and I felt that sometimes the description of what the characters were wearing was a bit much but it picks up. There are quite a few editing errors in the novel (like Dagny's name being spelled Dagney some of the time) but nothing that I felt would take away from a five star rating. The story is easy to become absorbed in and, unlike most books, I enjoyed this book even more the second read.

- Wish there were more books like it!
In a world with too few lesbian novels, especially those surrounding the younger generation, Kim Pritekel brings us a wonderful novel.

Lessons is very well-written, and it is a fantastic story that is both believable and realistic. There are many reviews that already described the story itself, so I won't go into too much detail, but I just wanted to say that I loved this book.

(And just incase any of you care, there is a very beautiful love scene, that is tasteful, not trashy! read thissss!!)

Rating:

- Earnest, but poorly written
It's hard to find good lesbian fiction, and I chose this book because it was reviewed so highly on Amazon. I was disappointed. The author is clearly passionate about her subject matter, but the writing is seriously flawed. I don't normally buy into the idea that there are "rules" for writing--after all, those who are firmly in control of their craft bend and break such rules all the time--but too often Pritekel falls into the trap of "telling" rather than "showing." For example, the narrator frequently informs us that some character is "interesting" or "so interesting" without demonstrating through the dialogue what precisely the main character finds captivating. As a result, though Chase may be interested, the reader is bored. The dialogue itself falls flat; Pritekal aims to capture youthful speech by inserting the f-word (or the occasional "hell yeah") practically every other sentence; the language is distracting ...
