This was an interesting book about the founding and evolution of Against Me! set against the backdrop of Laura Jane Grace's journals from those times. Very honest examination of things she's (understandably) not talked about much publicly in the past - illustrates pretty clearly that mindset of how your whole life will be fixed if you fix just one thing and then it turns out that you have multiple problems. Complaining about punks heckling her shows got a bit old though.

“Whenever I came out to people, there was a feeling that I was asking for their permission, or their forgiveness.”

Easy to read, interesting, but not incredibly insightful. I get it, she's not here just to be poetic and thoughtful in her old journals. Her story matters, though, and I'm glad she shared it and I read it.
