No Manual Included: A Humorous Manual for WLW Relationships, from First Date to Shared Spotify Premium

Ever wondered if your U-Haul rental counts as a second date? This book is for you.

Welcome to the instruction manual that doesn't exist but absolutely should. From decoding whether she's flirting or just Canadian to navigating the complex politics of whose turn it is to be the little spoon, this no-holds-barred guide dives headfirst into the beautiful chaos of loving another woman.

Written by someone who once Google-searched "how to tell if she likes me or just compliments everyone's earrings" at 3 AM, this book tackles the questions heteronormative advice columns never answer: How soon is too soon to merge Spotify accounts? Is adopting a third cat an acceptable substitute for couples therapy? And why does no one warn you that your period will sync with your girlfriend's, creating an emotional biodome where crying about dog food commercials becomes perfectly reasonable?

With chapters on lesbian bed death (spoiler: it's mostly a myth), the complex geometry of ex-girlfriend networks, and the art of fighting fair when you both majored in Communication and minored in Psychology, this guide is equal parts hilarious confession and genuinely useful advice.

Whether you're a baby gay still figuring out if that lingering hug meant something or a seasoned lesbian wondering if your relationship timeline is "normal" (plot twist: there is no normal), you'll find yourself laughing, cringing, and highlighting passages to read aloud to your partner-who's probably already stolen this book from your nightstand and dog-eared all the relatable parts.

Because the truth is, the best part about not having a manual is getting to write your own rules. Even if those rules currently include "whoever notices the litter box first has to clean it" and "no discussing relationship issues during Mercury retrograde."
