"She has on lipstick so dark purple it is nearly black. A black velvet choker necklace rests tight on her neck. I decide she is one of the most beautiful women I've ever seen. She catches me staring and I quickly look away. A few years later, someone will mention "the lesbian witches of Coventry" and I will think of her and I will think, Maybe that's what I want to be."
Really good! Reminded me of Tacky by Rax King.

andrealianne's review against another edition

I adored this utterly tender, queer, anti-state memoir. from the absence of fatherhood to a messy mother-daughter relationship to the intensely strong friendships between young girls, Raechel Anne Jolie portrays growing up in the Midwest with beautiful honesty. her ache for punk culture and anarchist community and the stumbling attempts to understand the details of these things resonated with me so hard. heartbreak and healing, family both blood and chosen, poverty and resilience, the nurturing of a personal aesthetic and identity - it's all here. and I can't wait to read what she writes next.
