It was really pretty good. I don't know what I was expecting - maybe some angst-laden, shame-filled, closet dwelling characters who never find love? But Beebo (and Ann Bannon) are definitely very progressive, especially for their time. Beebo knows what she wants and she's not afraid to go after it! It's worth it for the history... This is probably the dawn (in fiction) of the modern gay rights movement.
