There are multiple references to grooming of young boys by older men. There is one chapter which specifically discusses obsessive-compulsive behaviour with very detailed descriptions of the reasons and effects on her.

What a unique look into the mind of one of the most influential lesbian artists I know of! I found many of Bechdel's experiences profoundly relatable, and I actually teared up a few times. Essential reading for the sapphics with daddy issues out there (I see you <3)

This is the Lesbian Daddy Issues book, so if that kind of thing is triggery, this isn't the book for you. There are also illustrations of (sometimes naked) dead bodies, and (thankfully unrelated) illustrations of sex. This isn't a book to read in public, probably.

It was fine. I think this book was much more hyped up than I enjoyed it. I read this after someone told me this is where the Bechdel test started - sadly I thought it was this book particularly - so I was waiting for when it came around. It never did. I was bored through most of the story sadly, I couldn't relate this this story but I appreciate it for what it is. Just not for me.
