What a unique look into the mind of one of the most influential lesbian artists I know of! I found many of Bechdel's experiences profoundly relatable, and I actually teared up a few times. Essential reading for the sapphics with daddy issues out there (I see you <3)

Minor: Body shaming, Outing, Cursing, Drug use, and Schizophrenia/Psychosis

This is the Lesbian Daddy Issues book, so if that kind of thing is triggery, this isn't the book for you. There are also illustrations of (sometimes naked) dead bodies, and (thankfully unrelated) illustrations of sex. This isn't a book to read in public, probably.

“Sexual shame is in itself a kind of death.”
I don’t usually like or read graphic novels, but this books is an exception. What a unique way to write a memoir. The way Bechdel reflects on how she connects her queerness with her father’s in the last chapter is particularly poignant.
