My Riot by Rick Spears
4.0

Thank you to Netgalley and the publisher for a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.

TW: ED behavior and language

This book made me feel a lot. Obviously, I wasn't around for the Riot Grrl phase of the 90's, but I've read a lot on it and think it's a really interesting time. Yes, the book was fast paced, but it followed the very classic timeline (maybe bordering on cliché?) of most Riot Grrl stories (if you were to combine them into one). As someone who has both done dance, and struggled with ED behaviors, I very much would have liked a TW at the beginning of the book. Just some indicator that this is a major part of the initial story.

I would have liked more, it to be longer or the idea that it was a series, since the characters were so loveable. All in all though, this was a solid story and the art was beautiful!
