So I read some of these back when they were published as individual comics and I gotta say, I LOVE what they’ve done with the expansion into a bigger and frankly better book.
Integrating her earlier comics about dating in the queer world after a breakup with a long term boyfriend, Beier adds new material here that really fleshes out her story. Its not just a series of vignettes about a lonely girl and the closing of a prominent dyke bar, instead it becomes a journey of self-acceptance and self-love. As a fat person myself, I was glad to see that her initial internalized fat hatred melted into acceptance. And that she was able to find love.
With simple and stark black and white drawings, this graphic novel anthology truly deserves to be on the bookshelf of every bisexual woman who loves queer indies.
