My Review

Not only is it the first real lesbian love story I ever got exposed to, but Annie on my Mind is a wonderful exploration of New York City, of young people in general, and of the zeitgeist of an era long ago but not as different as we might like to think.

But mostly, it's about our heroines: they're so in love and so wonderful, I'm tempted to make a squidoo ever project page about them. Just... read it.

fudge says:

When I first read it, I didn't think a great deal of it. I liked it, but I wasn't overwhelmed. But as time as gone on, I've found myself thinking back to it, how Annie and Liza got to know each other and became so emotionally attached, even before Annie kisses Liza. It makes their love seem so natural. :)

mica says:

It is one of the best books i have ever read: It is thoughtful, it is honest and true, and it is not only focused on the romantic love of Liza and Annie. The struggle to keep Liza's school open, and the courage it took her to stand up to the headmaster. And, on top of that, it was about how Liza discovered herself through another. I recall a quote towards the end of the book when Liza is being questioned: "And what we did that they think is wrong, when you pare it all down, is fall in love."
