"[A] remarkable piece of work, no less a debut. A gift for those who have lived in our queer skins for many decades and for young lesbians who are looking for a primer in lesbian history. . . "--The Guardian

"In Thank You For Calling The Lesbian Line, author Elizabeth Lovatt brings to life forgotten logs of heartwarming (and tragic) lesbian stories tucked away at the Finsbury library archive in north London."--The Independent

"[A] clear-eyed and moving addition to the still-expanding record of lesbian lives."
--Publishers Weekly

"The combination of nuance with moral clarity makes [Lovatt's] work special. Lovatt's worthy, thoughtful book succeeds in taking the Lesbian Line of the nineties, with multitudes talking to multitudes, and recreating it on the page for us all to learn."

--Booklist

"A journey into the lesbian archives makes [Thank You for Calling the Lesbian Line] a modern declaration of love to queer folks throughout time. [Lovatt] does admirable work for lesbian history and will nourish many young lesbians as well as those seeking to learn more about the community."--Kirkus
