Hunger Makes Me a Modern Girl by Carrie Brownstein

5.0

Carrie Brownstein's account of growing up in the Pacific Northwest as a compulsive ham, discovering her identity through the underground music of the time, and becoming a founding member of an inspirational punk band - is so utterly nostalgic that, I believe, it will move many of us who came-of-age in the 90s. With a clear and frank voice, she takes us through episodes in her life many would equate to glamour, and shows the not-so-shiny, and even mundane, side. Yet these sides built her life, and make the narrative whole and that much more compelling and real. The key thing I came away with; we all have our lives and have our peaks and valleys (indeed, valleys even among the peaks) and if you learn and adjust, accordingly, you will achieve your own version of success.
