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\u003e hit the airwaves and broke down the door to Jill’s own sexuality.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIn 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eGirls Can Kiss Now\u003c\/i\u003e is a fresh and intoxicating blend of personal stories, sharp observations, and laugh-out-loud humour. 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Arotahi Agency","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46530747302124,"sku":"9781982158507","price":32.0,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/20194603482893.jpg?v=1749264242","url":"https:\/\/bookhero.co.nz\/products\/girls-can-kiss-now-by-jill-gutowitz-9781982158507","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
