This book was kind of all over the place in content, but the art style was pretty and I think it's important that books like these exist so queer kids don't feel so alone.

Kobabe mentions a few times in the book that e was historically reluctant to share details of eir life and sadly, I think it shows. This would have felt more meaningful as a memoir if there was focus on the deeper meaning of a few important scenarios rather than just a general overview of eir entire life from birth to publishing.

I greatly appreciated Kobabe  sharing so much of eir story. And I think the graphic novel format really supports the telling of eir journey. I did struggle with the jumping around from topic to topic. Sometimes I could see the connection line from one thing to the next. But I couldn’t always. And found myself struggling to understand where different things fit within a timeline as a result. However, I do expect I’ll read this book again. And I feel sure I’ll follow and understand better now that I have a general idea of Kobabe’s story.
