Philadelphia Gay News Recommends On Loving Women for Summer Reading

Obomsawin presents a diverse collection of quirky, humorous coming-out stories in “On Loving Women.”

The graphic novel features an assortment of comics based on women describing the first time they realized they were attracted to the same sex.

“On Loving Women” draws from a variety of perspectives and experiences of Obomsawin’s friends, illustrating both the similarities and differences that exist among LGBT foks.

It is relatable to all lady-loving ladies who remember their coming-out process — the awkward crushes, the interesting first dates and the heartbreaking experience of rejection.

Obomsawin takes all the stories and creates strange, whimsical imagery — readers may not be sure what the characters are (bunny rabbit? dog?) — But the way she writes is very straightforward, which readers will appreciate.

“On Loving Women” is sure to take readers back to the day when they were first discovering their sexuality, but it will also help individuals who are just starting to emerge into their identity.
