I'll go there because I have nowhere and no one else to go to. I'll leave because it will not be where I belong. What once felt so right will now feel all wrong.

I love Against Me! and I have been meaning to read LJG’s book.   Laura didn’t hold back and I couldn’t imagine a more in-depth look at one person’s journey to transition.  Was it a tough read?  Yes.  Did I want to cry at times?  Absolutely.

informative reflective medium-paced

3.5

This was an interesting book about the founding and evolution of Against Me! set against the backdrop of Laura Jane Grace's journals from those times. Very honest examination of things she's (understandably) not talked about much publicly in the past - illustrates pretty clearly that mindset of how your whole life will be fixed if you fix just one thing and then it turns out that you have multiple problems. Complaining about punks heckling her shows got a bit old though.

I love music and I love memoir and this satiated both. Laura Jane Grace is everything all at once.

Against Me! Is one of my favourite bands, so I was deeply excited to read Laura Jane Grace's biography. It was everything I hoped that it would be. This book is an honest, raw, deeply vulnerable telling of her life and musical journey. It made me laugh, cry and fall in more with Laura's music as I learned its backstories. I feel really honoured as a reader that Laura chose to share her story with such beautiful honest.
