| ** |
Main Bi Character |
|
Category: Science Fiction
Summary: The main character is a woman who can change her body any way she wants to. Sometimes she goes to dyke bars. The dyke bar scene was kind of silly, with the women having a big orgy in the pool in the middle. The book had way too much sex--almost as if it were spawned from the author's sexual fantasies about shape changing.
