Just as you are : a novel
(Book)

Includes questions and topics for discussion.

"Liz Baker and her three roommates work at The Nether Fields, a queer magazine in New York that's on the verge of shutting down--until it's bought at the last minute by two wealthy lesbians. Even though Liz is eager to leave listicles behind for more meaningful writing, she knows that she's lucky to still have a paycheck. But it's hard to feel grateful with minority investor Daria Fitzgerald slashing budgets, cancelling bagel Fridays, and password protecting the color printer to prevent "frivolous use." When Liz overhears Daria scoffing at her articles, she knows that it's only a matter of her time before her impulsive mouth tells Daria off and gets herself fired. But as Liz and Daria get thrown together more and more, Liz starts to see a softer side to Daria--she's funny, surprisingly helpful, and actually seems to like that Liz's gender presentation varies between butch and femme. Even as the evidence that Liz can't trust Daria piles up, it starts getting harder and harder to keep hating Daria--and harder and harder to resist her"--,Provided by publisher.
