Happy Endings Are All Alike Read È 109 Happy Endings Are All AlikeThis book surprised me because all the lukewarm reviews on here and the date of the book's publication gave me this impression that the story and characters would be outdated I mentally shelved it with other lesbian classics like Rubyfruit Jungle and The Well of Loneliness—books I have hesitated to read for six years now But for Happy endings are all alike I like the title I received the book last night just as I was finishing another book and for some reason I couldn't sleep so I ended up reading this in one sitting during which I felt these twists in my chest

Happy Endings Are All Alike Read È 109 Happy Endings Are All AlikeI first heard about this book in a summary of lesbian young adult fiction its origins and how far it's come today This book was mentioned as one of the books back from the days when characters were punished for being gay And in this novel particularly horrifically So I thought maybe I should stay away from this book for a while And I didNow having read it I can say the image I had of the book was completely false It's not a punishment story; it's an exploration of the extreme homophobia and misogyny in society especially in the 1970s when it was written and it's also a refreshingly feminist and powerful critiue I was happily surprised to find such a strong message — which is hard to find in any book but in a book written 35 years ago it was especially powerful
Happy Endings Are All Alike Read È 109 Happy Endings Are All AlikeI really enjoyed this snapshot of late 70s women's lib as found in a YA novel about lesbians Of course it seems dated now but still rings true It reminded me of the movie Girlfriends in terms of its portrayal of young feminists I loved the line about Jaret vaguely wondering how exactly not shaving her legs was contributing to the women's movement And there is so much rapping going on and not of the Grandmaster Flash variety Far out man Thanks Lizzie for bringing this back into print

Happy Endings Are All Alike Read È 109 Happy Endings Are All Alike35 out of 5I don't know much about the social climate in America in 1970s but the homophobia and sexism that the two lesbian protagonists face in Happy Endings Are All Alike seem very realistic ie infuriating and uite ridiculous I hope by today's standardsApparently this book was groundbreaking when it was first published in 1978 because it not only was one of the first YA books to feature lesbian protagonists but it also lacked common dead lesbian or eventually cured of homosexuality tropes
