Lambda Award Finalist: “[A]cackle-loudly-and-send-quotes-to-your-friends chronicle of bisexuality [and] a story of awkwardness and identity crisis.” —Glamour Named One of the Best Books of 2021 by Oprah Daily, Glamour, Shondaland, and BuzzFeed 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, 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 poster child for all of them: greedy, slutty, and constantly confused. With her clever voice, clear-eyed insight, and whip-smart humor, 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 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. It inspires us to rethink the world as we know it, reminding us that “greedy” was a superpower all along. “Wholly original, and entirely delightful.” —Publishers Weekly
