jemmers's review against another edition

challenging emotional funny hopeful reflective sad medium-paced

4.0

A very honest, funny, lean book about Myriam’s life from childhood through college. Empathetic and not as mean as the title implies. I would recommend this book to anyone who wants to step into the shoes of someone else, to Chicanes, writers, poets, artists, gays, shes, theys and queers. CW: This book centers around a gender/sex-based crime and the author’s experience with sexual assault and PTSD.

dark emotional funny lighthearted fast-paced

4.5

A fun memoir. Some dark points and serious subjects, but Myriam writes about them so well. It was just interesting and real and raw and blunt

The author's tone got on my nerves pretty quickly, but since it was a short read, decided to finish it anyway.
