"The Wet Engine"

"For our hearts are not pure; our hearts are filled with need and greed as much as with love and grace; and we wrestle with our hearts all the time. The wrestling is who we are. How we wrestle is who we are. It never stops. We are never complete. We are verbs. What we want to be is never what we are. Not yet. Maybe that's why we have these relentless engines in our chests, driving us forward toward what we might be."

"This is the definitive Lesbian Classic for the 21st Century and beyond!"

Made For You illustrates a realistic and humorous look at the all-encompassing tentacles of lesbian life that ensnare one woman and her circle of friends and acquaintances.

Julie Bell has recently been dumped by her girlfriend, Adrienne, and she is not handling it well. It is unfathomable to Julie that Adrienne would leave her for a woman who works out only her arms. Julie is driven to find out what went wrong with the relationship, most significantly how Adrienne was brainwashed into thinking she’s in love with someone else. Julie is certain that once she uncovers the root cause of the breakup she’ll have the ammunition to win Adrienne back.

Julie has sarcastic outbursts, where she targets everyone from Drew Barrymore-idolizing vegetarians to her best friend's girlfriend, who thinks her cat is suicidal. But she also tries to reenter the dating game; unfortunately, her most successful result is lying on top of a girl in a basement bathtub.
