Who am I and what self do I project to myself and others? Coming of age issues that of course continue well into her/our twenties (she's 29 when this book comes out).īut this is a memoir that largely keeps its secrets, the story of a very gregarious but simultaneously private person who has lived a lot of her life in the public eye. What is clear? Well, she realized she was a lesbian, over time, fell in love with a woman and over all that time tried hard to figure out what she, as a lesbian, should look like: Short hair, long hair, what to wear, and so on. Much of it comes from a blog she kept over the years. The book spans eight years of her life that speak to rocketing fame and recognition-everyone that has seen her once knows her terrific, smiling face forever-and struggle, which includes mental health struggles, identity struggles. It alludes to things happening she doesn't describe and to feelings she doesn't quite name. I am not sure exactly why I so readily rated this four stars, as it is not really much of a memoir. And family, though coming out eventually as gay, she had to leave the church, as she didn't feel welcome there.
I guess I also have maybe read some of her work on Lumberjanes, but I knew and still know nothng of her web impact, which was/is all over the place, beginning with fanfiction comics about Lord of the Rings. A memoir by the author of Nimona, which I liked quite a bit.
