Girls Girls Girls by Shoshana von Blanckensee; 2025. Hardcover.

It's the summer of '96 and best friends (and secret girlfriends) Hannah and Sam are driving across the country from Long Beach, New York, to the fabled queer paradise of San Francisco, free from the harsh gazes of their neighbors and the demands of Hannah's devout Orthodox Jewish mother. In San Francisco, they will finally be together as a real couple, out in the open, around other queer people. When the financial strains of West Coast living push the girls to start stripping at The Chez Paree--yet another secret Hannah must keep from her family--Hannah feels trapped. Sam wants her at the club, but Hannah hates stripping nearly as much as she hates disappointing Sam. Then

Then Hannah meets Chris, an older lesbian, who is immediately taken with her. Desperate to stay in San Francisco and away from the leering men at the club, Hannah proposes an escort arrangement. But as Hannah falls deeper into Chris' world and Sam starts to meet new queer friends, a rift forms between them. A tender and resonant story of survival, first love, and growing up queer in the '90s, Girls Girls Girls is an exploration of the choices we make in the search for ourselves and home.
