Has nothing to do with lesbians or not. If some guy I don't know that well took me to an adult video store to watch porn on our first date, RED FLAG!!! I mean, porn has it's place and I could see a couple watching it after they've been together for a while, but not a first date. Even if I had been pining over him for months.<br /><br />Not only that, but Cassy was really very naive and simple. No sexual experience at all. It's the last place I would, as an older woman maybe, take a younger inexperienced girl for date. <br /><br /><i>That's a lot in 13K.</i><br /><br />I didn't get the point of all that at all. The only thing it does is that it helps Cassy to have some self confidence when she does get with Velvet again. But she didn't know she would get with Velvet again. <br /><br />Again it was very weird. <br /><br />The thing that pissed me off the most about this story was how after Cassy and Velvet get back together again...Velvet has an opportunity for a job far away and when she tells Cassy, Cassy is like, so what about us and Velvet suggests that maybe it's better to break up. What?!!! But then Cassy fights for them and Velvet then goes, OK, I'll stay. <br /><br />At that point I really disliked Velvet. <br /><br />Anyway... yes, it was a weird book.LVLM(Leah)https://www.blogger.com/profile/01344785501583933784noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2987282986651733585.post-89333371446382293692010-01-25T11:40:32.796-08:002010-01-25T11:40:32.796-08:00Their first date is at an adult video/bar/gaming p...Their first date is at an adult video/bar/gaming place to watch porn???? Whatever happened to a nice dinner? Even if they were just going out for drinks, did it HAVE to be with all the "extras"? Maybe I haven't been in the dating world for while, and never a lesbian one, but I don't think my sensibilities are *that* far off.<br /><br />Also, in this short story, Cassy goes out with Velvet, gets ignored by her afterward, has some amateur sex therapist-type help her to no avail, then gets back with Velvet? That's a lot in 13K.Cathy in AKhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08667978358875270260noreply@blogger.com
