This book tops all horror books I’ve ever read. The author does a great job at depicting what the mind of a predator would be like. It’s disturbing and uncomfortable. This book pushes the boundaries of the norm.
Intimate and beautifully heartbreaking.
A memoir about growing up, identity, truth and happiness.

I had fun reading this. Kept me on the edge of my seat. Also had me thinking, “What did I just read??”
I really wanted to love this one, but was mildly disappointed?…
Something was missing and I can’t put my finger on it, but I think I was mostly bothered by how the girls were painted by the boys in the book. Maybe it just bothers me when men try to write about girls/women in stories. How they made the Lisbon sisters out to be like they didn’t have any substance to them other than their appearance and what they saw glimpses of them doing. Like at the end what did it matter that they had all these exhibits of what they collected from the girls over the years if they didn’t actually get to know them before it was too late?

If I could describe Tegan and Sara’s memoir with one word, I’d describe it as captivating. Tegan and Sara invite us into their High School lives (grades 10-12), where they retell short stories about growing up, friendships, family and music. I was completely riveted and touched by how relatable it all felt about growing up queer and not know what to do with all those feelings. This is the kind of book I wish I read sooner.
Great novel! I love when chapters are short and to the point. Kept me on my toes. I liked the references to pop culture, and most importantly the Nigerian culture.
I always handle memoirs with care and gratitude of the author’s willingness to share details about their life. Crying in H Mart was one I picked up and put down a few times due to its sensitivity and how I knew it would inevitably hit close to home. Wonderful read filled with love, loss and laughter.
This shook me to my core. I’ve never read anything like it.
