Gender Queer: A Memoir by Maia Kobabe

hopeful reflective medium-paced

5.0

I liked the art style, I appreciated Kobabe’s honesty and vulnerability. I don’t think it’s appropriate to give a star review other than 5/5 for this because it’s part of eir life story, I can’t review someone’s life so 5/5 for sharing so openly to the world. I enjoyed reading this, however it felt discombobulated and would shift back and forth between timelines in a confusing way, and the ending felt abrupt, I was so confused when that was the last page it felt like it ended mid sentence. But overall I enjoyed reading this, I’ve never read a graphic novel memoir, it’s a very cool genre. I feel like I learned things that I’m not exposed to so I am grateful for that. It’s wrong that this book is banned, this would be life changing/affirming for so many people I’m sure, but thanks as always to the conservatives who work to ban books because every time I learn of a banned book it makes me want to read it-which is how I learned about this one!
