Someone Please Have Sex with Me by Gina Wynbrandt

3.0

A collection of several short pieces revolving around the author's experience with the opposite sex. It reminded me of Unloveable by [a: Esther Pearl Watson|238242|Esther Pearl Watson|https://images.gr-assets.com/authors/1321980263p2/238242.jpg] in spirit.

Didn't enjoy it as much as I expected after reading an excerpt in [b: The Best American Comics 2015|23719226|The Best American Comics 2015|Jonathan Lethem|https://images.gr-assets.com/books/1425611371s/23719226.jpg|43328811], but that's probably because of the fragmentary nature of a collection like this. I identified with the author's very specific feelings of frustration. I'm in a much more satisfied place currently, but have been there in the past. Since the title and thematic material related to it were what interested me in the first place, I was bummed there wasn't more reflective content along those themes.

The art is really what stood out for me, ultimately. Most specifically, the HAIR.
