An honest look at love and marriage. Gut wrenching and hits you right in the heart. A good read for all of those “alt” couples out there - you may be someone's Rob or Renee!

I loved this book. It's informative and interesting. The format makes this book conducive to on-the-go reading. The information is easily digestible, making this book a wonderful introduction to queer history.

Enjoyable and quick read. Since it was originally an hour(?)-long show, it's paced as such; she can be a bit scattered and at times, brief in her description of particular events. I think the format of the book (or lack of) presents some insight into the way Carrie thought which makes it kind of fun.

I gave it three stars because I wanted to know MORE.
With that being said, for a quick read - I definitely reccomend.

I loved every moment of this book. After reading all of her memoirs, I see that Carrie's personality shone through Suzanne. I felt as if I saw parts of myself in Suzanne and I think any kind of book that makes you feel that way is excellent are completely worth reading.

Super cool dream diary. The presentation is where it shines. There are over 40 different artists interpreting the author's dreams - it's so interesting to see reoccurring themes illustrated so differently. If you don't speak Japanese you miss out on a few dreams, but it isn't enough to ruin the book.

Slow to start (for me at least) because I didn't care much about Babyface. But my godd! s o good now!

I saw the movie during my tail end of senior year in high school. I didn't want to accept that growing apart from an attached-at-the-hip best friend was a natural part of life. Now, not only do I understand this, I have lived through this. I think this book does a great job of expressing the subtlety of two people who have outgrown their relationship.

Art is beautiful and the characters are realistic. Although they're teen and pre-teen girls, they are very multidimensional (much like actual girls). also the art is FUCKING BEAUTIFUL

so worth the read. smart funny lady party in ya hands

I wanted this book to be longer. This isn't necessarily a criticism of the ending (which feels somewhat abrupt, but I can look past that). I dont think the author spent enough time delving into Addie's feelings about her abortion or her healing process. To me, it seemed like Addie was, yet again, relying on another to make herself happy. The gender of this person is irrelevant. The characters are really great and progressive, but that was a MAJOR flaw with Addie's character to me.


With all of that said, I still gobbled up this book in a few hours. It was quite enjoyable and most of the verses are great as a standalone read.

I DEVOURED THIS BOOK.
I still think about the poems from this collection on an almost daily basis. There are some really triggering poems for those who have experienced abuse in any way – I found it therapeutic, but not all will.
The poetry in the book is certainly short, but I don't believe that makes it “simple”.
This was my “gateway drug” to contemporary poetry and I highly recommend.

Concise and motivational. I also HIGHLY recommend it's successor,”Show Your Work”.
