I enjoyed this historical fiction account of a riot grrrl band. I also loved the illustrations and color scheme. It dragged a bit at the end, and it bothers me that it was written by a man.

Nothing quite like knowing a book isn’t for you when you’re not even 20 pages in and the very skinny main character is subjected to and frequently repeats fatphobia and pro ED discourse. No nuance at all.
