This is the second time I've read Lois Lenz,... and it was still as good as at first time. Set in the USA in 1959, it tells the story of Lois Lenz (who would have guessed?), a naive high school graduate from a small suburban neighbourhood, who gets offered a job as a secretary in an advertising company in the Big City. In stead of becoming a member of the busy typing pool as intended, she is immediately swooped to be the personal secretary of the big boss. The all-women boarding house of Magdalena Arms isn't all she thought it would be, either: the other girls of the fifth floor seem friendly enough, but seem to have secrets they do their best to keep from Lois.

Why did the previous occupant of her room disappear so suddenly? Why is one of the girls on the fifth floor so interested in getting into Lois' room? Why is her old friend from cheerleading days in little Walnut Grove visiting another girl on the floor so often? Why do her coworker and boss, both female, want to practice kissing with her, just like Faye back home? And what's with all the blackmailing?!

Humour, seduction, women, typing and filing to the extreme - Lois Lez, Lesbian Secretary has it all!


""What?" asked Dolly, looking around. "You're worried about Luscious here?" She leaned forward and put a hand on Lois's knee. "You like girls, don't you?" she queried.

"The sudden silence in the room was thick with a tension Lois didn't understand. "Well, of course," she said curiously. She thought of Faye for the first time in several hours, her sparkling blue eyes, her red full lips. "My very best friend is a girl!"

""See?" said Dolly triumphantly."
