You can find my thorough review of this anthology on my blog: [...]Here is my overall impressions of it:Coming Together: Girl-on-Girl is by no means the only lesbian anthology that is out there, but I would say that it just may be one of the most eclectic, smart, varied, and sexiest that I have read. It truly is a breath of fresh air. The genres vary, which means that there's a higher chance that you may not like all of the stories (but honestly, it's nearly impossible to find an anthology where every story will be adored by the reader!). But, that's what makes this anthology more interesting. As they say, variety is the spice of life, and this anthology certainly shows that. There is also a mixture of seasoned and established authors in here as well as lesser-known or new authors. Not one author overshadows another; they each display their talents in their unique stories that stands them out as authors in their own right regardless if she is well-known or not. As I said before, not all of the stories will tickle your fancy. Like with all anthologies, some stories you will gush about and love to bits while others may not be your cup of tea or will not entirely keep your interest. But even the stories that do the latter are still fantastically written and are by no means awful or boring; they are far from it. There is not one bad short in this anthology; they are all wonderful and share the same common theme: women in lust, in love, in yearning, in rapture, and in glorious heat with other women. None of these stories cater to the male ego or male fantasy either. Every story is very raw, real, and convincing in exploring how women express their lusts, yearnings, and desires of their fellow sex.With the erotica genre being frankly way too over-saturated with M/F and M/M stories, I think F/F often gets neglected, ignored, or just taken for granted. It's really lovely to see an anthology that I hope will remind readers that F/F is just as hot, sexy, entertaining, and fun as M/F and M/M.I can't recommend this anthology highly enough. Whether you are new to reading F/F or have an entire collection of F/F on your book shelf, Coming Together: Girl-on-Girl is a must-read and a must-own to have either in e-book form or paperback. Or both! You won't regret it, especially since the proceeds made from this anthology will go to such a good cause!
