A review by genevieve_hayes
Memoirs of an Ex-Prom Queen by Alix Kates Shulman

5.0

I loved this book, the writing, and Sasha herself. I’m sure as I get older and reread it, I will connect even more, especially to the ideas about motherhood. When I started it, I thought that Sasha was the vain blonde she wanted people to see her as but delving further in, her intelligence and resignation were both astounding. Seeing her become the woman she always knew she would be, despite her resistance, was strange and sad. Her early insight into the world was powerful, especially as it followed her through life, and it really resonated with me.
