    About this ebook

    In 1983 thirteen-year-old Natasha is in love with her French teacher, Miss Williams. When Natasha is cruelly banished from Miss Williams's class forever, the love develops into obsession ... stalking ... unhealthy behaviour ... and painfully misguided cries for attention.

    This uncomfortable yet light-hearted memoir in diary form is primarily a record of obsession.

    Natasha is a love-sick lesbian teenager in an all-girls school in the eighties, juggling her Latin homework, Bible study, a crush on Elaine Paige, and her suppressed sexuality. How can she make sense of it all?

    But more importantly ... tormented by unrequited love ... how can Natasha make Miss Williams love her back? Take a sneaky peek inside ...

    Author

    Natasha Holme

    Probably the most prolific diary writer in the history of the world, I have been obsessively recording my crushes on females since the age of fourteen. I currently clock up half a million words per year, but never let on to the woman I'm dating that I jot down everything she says and does. I LOVED my all-girls public school. Apart from mercilessly hounding Miss Williams, with whom I fell in love at first sight at the age of twelve, I was a model pupil. In my early twenties I swapped my Latin homework for drug-taking and squatting. Having sported an 'I LOVE MISS WILLIAMS' tattoo on my left wrist for eleven years, I finally tired of the inane questions it encouraged and got a cover-up in 1999. I'm a list-writing geek and a drummer. I play table tennis and make my own beer. I am not a stalker anymore.

      Lesbian Crushes at School: A Diary on Growing Up Gay in the Eighties by Natasha Holme Wow what a story. I give the author credit for her honesty and openness. I myself probably would have left out some embarrassing parts but she put it all out there, good for her! This book read very fluidly and I loved the format, I can't wait to read more about this young lady and her life!
    • 5/5
      I've read another book by Natasha Holme, and I can firmly say, she is the new voice of a generation. Facing the tough world of growing up, not only how difficult that can be, but to be growing up questioning sexuality, and feelings of attraction, Holme writes with passion and love. You can't not push for this character to succeed and learn and get better. It's so good.
    • 4/5
      As a child of the 80's, I could relate to this book! I think it is very common for young girls to have girl crushes. This book is in a diary format and chronicles the life of a teenage girl. It is an easy read.
