Felt more like a graphic diary than a coherent memoir. Fitzgerald dips a toe into a lakeful of interesting topics but never wades deeper into any of them. What there is isn't bad, but I put it down thinking, OK, and...?

a gorgeous graphic novel about coming of age/coming out, with a queer redhead protagonist who loves labyrinth, sabrina the teenage witch and dungeons and dragons? i feel seen!

It felt kind of incomplete? Compared to her Photobooth book, which I felt told a complete story (sometimes *too* detailed xD), this felt like a story in progress where we never really reached any conclusions.

Long Red Hair is a sweet but very short graphic memoir spanning a period of more than twenty years as the author struggles with being unpopular in school, begins to identify as bisexual, comes out to her very supportive family, and wrestles with failed relationships and an unexpected period of celibacy. It's told in brief vignettes, mostly in chronological order but with occasional flashbacks.
I enjoyed the book, but there isn't a lot to it - it sets excellent scenes but doesn't go very deeply into any of them, so it feels dreamlike rather than giving a lot of details about emotions and recollections like you'd expect from a longer memoir. I'd love to see [a:Meags Fitzgerald|8283993|Meags Fitzgerald|https://d.gr-assets.com/authors/1449233365p2/8283993.jpg] extend the stories in Long Red Hair into something significantly longer.

Fitzgerald beautifully illustrates coming to terms with her sexuality.

3 stars | a good graphic novel about the author figuring out and coming to terms with her sexual identity (bisexuality). The art style wasn’t really my thing though and it pulled me out of the story.

I wish this was more ambitious. The artwork and layout really worked for me, but it was less than 100 pages, and ended up seeming overly impressionistic - scenes, but not enough follow through.
