Hmm. I definitely appreciated this book–I almost always love painful honesty, and that's pretty much Alison Bechdel's jam. There's a lot of layers here, like there were in [b:Fun Home: A Family Tragicomic 38990 Fun Home A Family Tragicomic Alison Bechdel https://d.gr-assets.com/books/1327652831s/38990.jpg 911368], which I loved. I think..... hmm. Hm. A LOT of this book was rehashing Alison Bechdel's therapy sessions, which does make for an interesting confessional vibe, but which can also get kind of draggy? I had to read this in slow, thoughtful chunks. Worth the effort.
