Summary: What came first?
Review: I gave this book 2 stars more out of nostalgia then anything. It is chalk full of florally pros that border on the boring. I am not sure what came first the movie or the book however I found both of them to be severely lacking. The characters are hard to like especially Claire and by the end of the book I didn't much care if they got together or not.

Summary: Good movie, better book
Review: If you enjoyed the movie, you're going to like the book better. There was a lot to the story that Conn was forced to edit out of the movie to shorten the running time. Once you read the book, you wish that Conn could have afforded to keep the movie the length she intended. The book also explains some things that seem disjointed in the movie. Claire's struggle to decide what exactly it is she wants in her life is interesting. Noel's reluctance to get involved with a "straight" woman is understandable. The story isn't as much about seduction as it it inevitability. It would be nice to have a follow up to see how this pair ended up later.

Summary: What came first?
Review: This book is my favorite lesbian novel. Nicole Conn tells this story well. If you're a romantic at heart, you'll love this story. The movie is a must see. It's not for everyone, but I think it is well worth it.
