What you don’t know about YOU THINK YOU KNOW<\/em><\/strong>, the debut novel from author Fina, is that you can’t possibly know just how good it is to read a work of black\u00a0lesbian fiction as passionate, honest and explosive as these 15 tales of love between women.<\/p>\n

Each story electrifies with carnal desires and insatiable lust, while caressing the heart in sincere reflections. Nothing has ever felt this easy when it comes to describing\u00a0 our lives and loves.<\/p>\n

Take for example, the confusion expressed in \u201cThe Lesbian Circle of Destruction,\u201d which revolves around the scandalous relationships we have as women-loving\u00a0 women. Monogamy is a dirty word with these women, whose almost incestuous ties can be found in any small lesbian community. For instance, your best friend is\u00a0sleeping with your ex, while you’re still pining away over your first love, who’s now your best friend. Talk about complicated.<\/p>\n

What you see is what you get in \u201cShe Finally Let Me Have a Femme All to Myself.\u201d Who can ignore a story that begins with, \u201cHave you ever just wanted to eat some\u00a0pussy?\u201d It gets more uninhibited from there, in a way that grabs your attention and won\u2019t let go.<\/p>\n

Balanced with the hardcore fantasies of You Think You Know<\/em> are thoughtful works about love, expressed in “You,” pinpointing the exact moment a woman falls in love,\u00a0and “Family Night,” a piece portraying the life of lesbian parents finding time for each other when the kids aren’t around.<\/p>\n

Fina points out that you’ll wonder what happened to “good old fashioned wholesome ladies,” and it’s true when you read “An Eye for an Eye,” wherein a stud finds herself\u00a0caught between a wife and a mistress. You may think you know how the story ends, but trust me, you can’t envision this\u00a0ending.<\/p>\n

The assorted tales of You Think You Know<\/em> are riveting, able to draw you with their simple, sinful sentiments. Grammatical errors aside, simply put: Fina can tell a story.\u00a0What she’s also able to do is depict our relationships for what they are – both beautiful and ugly at times.<\/p>\n

And that’s what you should know about You Think You Know<\/em>.<\/p>\n
