These comics are pulled from different times in Weinstein's life, so the styles and inkwork change a lot throughout. I thoroughly enjoyed this book - got at some really accurate/memory-provoking bits from my own childhood. A great introduction for those new to the memoir-comic genre, or even comics in general.Also: Morrissey. ( )

Hilarious!!! This book had me blushing in embarrassment as the narrator shares her daily happenings which include such things as mutilating and redesigning her Barbies to be more realistic and fantasing about Morrisey falling in love with her and doing romantic things like running through a graveyard together. She has Cure posters on her wall- what's not to like about this character. Also included is a "how to get a boyfriend" comic which tells you everything you shouldn't do and will have you laughing in snob-gothery at all the silly girls you remember doing those things. The issues are real, and sometimes not pretty... bullies, infected belly button peircings, dressing slutty for attention, and starving yourself to be thin... but all in all it has a positive message for outsider girls.
