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)

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.

emotional funny hopeful inspiring fast-paced

Bechdel's memoir is a gripping retelling of her early life and her relationship with her father as well as herself. The illustrations capture so many details of her past, while her prose captures you and carries you through the pages. 

The way she relates all the things that happened in her life then, with her sexuality, her father's sexuality, her tense home life, her father's death, and her coming to terms with it, all along with occurrences in literature that dominated her life during those times, as well as the greater world, it's honestly impressive.
