The vulnerability and heartbreak you endured for this video! I know it's been like a year lol I'm going to read it and come back to the comments so you have someone to chat about this with! You deserve not to be alone in these sad gay feelings and honestly now I have a morbid curiosity and weird want for this heartbreak too.
This comment ❤ Haha I completely understand the morbid curiosity - just know you have been warned! Such a love/hate relationship I have with this book. But thank you for wanting to share it with me 😭
Springfire was I am told, the first lesbian pulp fiction. The author was Marijane Meaker, my first cousin (once removed). The editor insisted that the girls be moved to college, because high school was too young. You are correct about the 'mandatory ending'. Marijane worked for a publisher, and her initial pen names were generated when she provided books she 'discovered' to the publisher. I would suggest, if you were satisfied (I will not say 'liked', it isn't that kind of book) with it, I might recommend her"We Walk Alone", and "We Too, Must Love" with pen name Ann Aldrich.
Thank you very much for this insight! I tried to do a good amount of research for this, but it’s amazing hearing this from her family. I did enjoy this book in an historical way so I will have to check out her other works! 😊
