Description
So, it’s finally happening. The months of back-and-forth, the over-analysis of texts, the wondering is she into me or just nice? – all leading to one terrifying, thrilling moment: an IRL meeting. Is it a date? Is it not? Oh f*ck. This is complicated.
Enter Girlfriend Material: the survival manual for women dating women.
If you’re questioning your sexuality, figuring out who you are or simply want to understand yourself and others better, this is the no-bullsh*t, practical and honest guide you’ve been waiting for.
Blending personal stories, community voices and expert insight, Rosie Turner cuts through the clichés to discuss the conversations everyone’s having – and some they’re still not brave enough to start.
With unfiltered chapters on coming out, sex, relationships, labels, friendship and the messy grey areas of love – alongside sharp insights into the psychology and cultural landscape shaping the world for LGBTQIA+ people right now – Girlfriend Material delivers reassurance, practical advice and plenty of laughs. Plus, answers to all the important questions, including: is she really flirting... or just being friendly?
Warm, inclusive and unapologetically real, Girlfriend Material gives you permission to laugh through the chaos and feel truly seen. Wherever you are on your journey, you’re welcome here.
