Tomboy: A Graphic Memoir by Liz Prince
4.0

This book has been on my radar for a long time, and I'm glad I finally sat down to read it! It's a fun, quirky memoir about growing up as a girl outside the traditional presentations of femininity. From a very young age Liz hated dresses and "girly stuff". Band t-shirts, baseball hats, jeans and sneakers were always what made her feel most like herself. This became more of a challenge in high school when Liz became as interested in boys as her most feminine piers, but was mystified as to how a tomboy went about getting a boyfriend. I love a teenage awakening that includes wisdom from zines.
