A hilarious and whip-smart collection of essays, offering an intimate look at bisexuality, gender, and, of course, sex. Perfect for fans of Lindy West, Samantha Irby, and Rebecca Solnit-and anyone who wants, and deserves, to be seen.
If Jen Winston knows one thing for sure, it's that she's bisexual. Or wait-maybe she isn't? Actually, she definitely is. Unless...she's not?
Jen's provocative, laugh-out-loud debut takes us inside her journey of self-discovery, leading us through stories of a childhood "girl crush," an onerous quest to have a threesome, and an enduring fear of being bad at sex. Greedy follows Jen's attempts to make sense of herself as she explores the role of the male gaze, what it means to be "queer enough," and how to overcome bi stereotypes when you're the posterchild for all of them: greedy, slutty, and constantly confused.
With her clever voice and clear-eyed insight, Jen draws on personal experiences with sexism and biphobia to understand how we all can and must do better. She sheds light on the reasons women, queer people, and other marginalized groups tend to make ourselves smaller, provoking the question: What would happen if we suddenly stopped?
Greedy shows us that being bisexual is about so much more than who you're sleeping with-it's about finding stability in a state of flux and defining yourself on your own terms. This book inspires us to rethink the world as we know it, reminding us that Greedy was a superpower all along.

In this collection of short essays, Jen Winston describes her journey from a questioning teenager to only-bisexual-in-theory young adult to someone who is confident in their identity. A fascinating look into the (or at least one) bisexual experience!

It took me over a month to finish this book. 39 days?! That's actually so sad.
But I am blaming it on the book, tbh.
It made me cringe so many times, and it seemed incredibly forced sometimes.
The footnotes were very much unnecessary and an annoyance. Why making the * so small?
Her self-reflecting comments about her unintentional ignorance made me really question the "unintentional".
I liked the personal stories, and I am rooting for Jen and Brinley!!
I'm giving it 3 because I can't rate something so personal lower than 3 stars.
