It made me wonder about all the ways that we are able to love each other and how movies and TV make it seem like you have to discard people once they break your heart or once the love disappears. Maybe that was a horrible lie, a complete disservice to real love.

JTaB is about a Puerto Rican lesbian girl attracted to feminism through a white woman's book. She learns all the problems with white lady feminism, while still coming to a place where she could appreciate her mentor. She knows that she has to find her own way with the help of people who truly get her and love her for who she is.

3 stars because Harlowe – the white feminist – was a lot.t.t. for even a white feminist to suffer through, although I loved her period ritual which involved a hot, wonderful smelling bath, and crawling between clean sheets. :)

The best parts were when Juliet was with her family.
