Slayers, Every One of Us: How One Girl in All the World Showed Us How to Hold On by Kristin Russo, Jenny Owen Youngs

4.0

This was nostalgia at its finest, with a harsh dose of reality. I loved revisiting the Buffy episodes, which now of course I want to watch again, and it was nice to see that there are parallels to art throughout time. The experiences Kristin and Jenny shared were heartbreaking and brutal, but also healing. Seeing that you aren't alone in trauma is a huge thing, an important thing. 

This is releasing in a great time politically as well. Some of the issues they were dealing with are issues now today, or are bigger issues today, and I can only hope that it will help people find comfort and solace in their trauma, knowing that others experience the same things too. 

Check on your friends, make sure the people you love know it, and be unapologetically you, always.
