Queering Reality with Vera Blossom

Vera Blossom writes fast and witty prose that traverse so many aspects of a young, queer life, including the pivotal role of friendships. The essays in How to Fuck Like a Girl cover so many topics, from hookups to witchcraft, petty crime, capitalism, divorce, and survival. The humor and the wit are matched only by the melancholy and intelligence, and importantly, what it put me back in touch with from among all the vivid scenes of my own younger life, was how friendships are like family, serving as a foundation for support, understanding, and resilience within the queer community.
