4.5
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.
