Tomboy

I LOVED this book! Parallels my own life in so many ways (especially in the ‘90s), I'm thrilled it's out there for other tomboys like me and Liz. I'm extremely disappointed at whatever Karens decided this book should be banned. Girls who are having this same journey need to know they are not alone!! I don't usually read graphic novels, but I was immediately interested by the title and cover and it was a great read.

Super great and affirming. Perfect for anyone who feels like they don't fit in.

(7/4/2023) this was way less queer than i thought it would be, which is not necessarily a bad thing! it's an interesting examination of the author's relationship to femininity and “girlhood” and the gender binary while growing up, but while it touches on feeling uncomfortable in your body and wanting to be a boy because boys got to do cooler stuff it does deviate from the “typical” trans narrative in a way that's closer to my own experience.
