Fun Home: A Family Tragicomic by Alison Bechdel

challenging emotional reflective medium-paced

2.5

I was told by the friend that lent me this book that it was going to be really emotional, and I just didn't feel that. I think it's because I hated her Dad from the first chapter, when it intimated that he preyed on teenage boys, so I never got fully invested in him or their relationship. Beyond that it felt fairly de rigueur as far as coming out/growing up queer memoirs go, and wasn't anything particularly special imo.
