A quick read but a highly enjoyable look through the life of Mariko Tamaki, a person I don't know, haven't met (actually have friends in common I just realized) but would love to read more from.

But even if I literally did not know the same people as her, it feels like I would anyway. The stories seem to primarily focus upon times of change in a life. Times when you realized you are older/wiser or fucked up and need to move on and up.

Times I really remember too.

In these times, reading is almost as good as travel.

If you like MUNA's music, you'll probably like this book. That's the best way I can think of describing it.

Reading this feels like watching a VCR tape, viewing the grainy recollections of someone's life in the nineties through their own eyes. There were a lot of wry little moments that made me smile and laugh. An interesting, eclectic collection. I've read some of her later work (especially her runs at Marvel Comics), and it's fascinating to see how she has grown from this point.
