The Diary of a Teenage Girl

This book is makes me cringe and a whole range of emotions. Mostly WTF are you doing?? and sadness for this poor girl. Girl who had to grow up with out a strong home life, unguided, and getting raped by her mom's 35yo boyfriend. (you might say she consented but it's not. It's rape, she was like 13 and he was a FULL ADULT who also helped raise her.) This ended up being her life...trying to figure it out in some ways painful.

If you happen to like R.Crumb (he's mentioned in this book) then you'll probably like this. It's based off her life and I hope it's a lot better. I'm glad this is out there, maybe someone could connect with it more than I ever could who needs it. I feel like it's very honest, written an illustrated by the same person some work was def. put into this. That's why it gets an extra star from me
