4.0

This book was not what I thought it would be. I decided to read it because I wanted to listen to the fun home musical. I also thought would be worthwhile to read  a somewhat famous graphic novel about growing up queer in what I believe was the 70s. this was not a mere memoir, however. It went into the topics of mental health, neuro divergence, family, queerness, fashion and so much more. Although this is not my usual genre, I am very glad that I read it. I would highly recommend if you’re looking for a poignant graphic novel.

3.75

You can't really put a rating on someone's life or perspective of their life. But you can on the execution. This memoir is littered with literary references, sometimes to a fault, but I enjoyed most of them anyway. However, it also got a bit convoluted due to this. Overall, though, I enjoyed it, and I believe the rating may be higher if I read it a second time in the future.
