The Denim Diaries by Laurie Boyle Crompton, Laurie Boyle Crompton

3.0

This powerful coming of age story is written in free verse, with little sketch illustrations on the side. This is classified as YA, but it's more New Adult, given how much of this book deals with the author's early adult life. Because the memoir is at an accessible reading level and starts out when the author is younger, this may attract some younger teens who won't be ready for where the book goes later. People need to know that in addition to covering the author's eating disorder and body image struggles in detail, this book also includes some graphic depictions of both consensual sex and sexual assault.
