“MariNaomi is a true original. This sometimes harrowing tale of young love made me rock with laughter and wince with sympathetic mortification.” —Armistead Maupin, author of Mary Ann in Autumn and Tales of the CityIn this fresh, offbeat graphic memoir, cartoonist MariNaomi chronicles her time as a misfit teen and young woman looking for love in San Francisco. Perfect for fans of graphic novels like Craig Thompson’s Blankets, Alison Bechdel’s Fun Home, and Lynda Barry’s Cruddy, MariNaomi gives a captivating look at a life spent in search of love, bringing to light issues of identity and sexuality as she recounts her extensive (and explicit) romantic résumé.
