A review by heykstan
I Wanna Be Your Joey Ramone by Stephanie Kuehnert

2.0

i know that Stephanie Kuehnert wanted this to be a love letter to punk rock, but she really just painted it in a really terrible light. in her version of punk, everyone involved has to be a deeply emotionally fucked up alcoholic or drug addict who is probably a slut and generally violent. the main character, emily black, comes across as a cowardly, self destructive little girl who shouldn't be a role model to ANYONE. i feel bad for all the 14 year old girls who read this and wanted to be just like her.

i can't give it one star because it was easy to read and i did want to finish it.
