- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5I was expecting more personal and political exploration. This was just personal, with a sprinkle of politics for the sake of the title.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Brilliant! A book I wished I would have written. Low is a deep and thoughtful writer, and her essay will make you think, question, and reflect in unanticipated ways.
- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5So this was an interesting read - this story is more of a journey/journal of the author Trisha Low. The story flips timelines with such ease that you feel as though you are in her mind. I was off kilter as I read this, the method of writing is very free flow but intentional - I really love how Trisha wove her experience with her love for art and film to balance out the narrative.A strong recommendation for those looking for a homestyle coming of age story.
