Quick summary: In this graphic novel memoir, author shares her upbringing and how she discovers her sexual identity, which ends up being right around the time she discovers secrets of her own family and must deal withe the sudden death of her father.

Now that I’ve committed to reviewing all of the books I read, I suppose I should say something about this one. Huh.

Interesting childhood that she experienced and I enjoyed the graphic novel presentation of the memoir, especially the use of real photos and documents, transformed into comic panels. I picked it up because the Broadway show won so many awards, and I like to include graphic novels in my book routine every now and again. I didn’t know what it was about before starting it, though. The story was compelling but tbh it didn’t wow me.

3 stars. Recommend? I’d give it a shrug.

Okay, next.
