There are multiple references to grooming of young boys by older men. There is one chapter which specifically discusses obsessive-compulsive behaviour with very detailed descriptions of the reasons and effects on her.

This book is so clever and insightful. I'd seen the musical years ago and I'm familiar with the songs but this book really makes you think about parents and the way we interpret them.

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)

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.
