review 1: I read The Creamsicle on a three day road trip. It was perfect for car reading and for killing time in the hotel. The story is full of characters who make more drama than most people do in their entire lives, but it makes for a good read. And it's nice to read about 1) lesbians and bisexual women, because a lot of books with gay themes are about guys, 2) a gay-related book that's in no way a romance, 3) a book about genderqueer and transsexual characters, and 4) a book with gay characters who aren't painfully good people. The characters are solid people though and the narrator's confusion, sincerity, and frustration make her relate-able.
review 2: I have a genuine affection for this book and its characters. There are few representations of queers like the ones... more I know and love in literature, and all too often I find them breezy and smug. Georgie and the Crew display the requisite jadedness that pervades the culture, but Argo slowly cracks open their facades to expose the love on which the culture is built.Particularly good: the in-stride handling of gender change and the depiction of Georgie in love. less
