james_desantis 's review for:
My Lesbian Experience with Loneliness
by Nagata Kabi
It's hard to rate this because Kabi, the author, is just expressing what she went through. The story really focuses on her from 18 years old to 28 and how she lived her life. You get some past too, when she's a child, and how it created her lifestyle. It's funny sometimes, sad others, but it gives you her life in a open book format. It's sometimes hard to read, but then the next page you laugh, and it keeps mixing things up to keep it entertaining.
What I liked: The art style was super cute and enjoyed almost all of it. I also liked the whole growing up with darker thoughts than most would admit. Especially about their own parents and such. I thought that was very brave. I also really enjoyed the pacing as it always kept moving forward to the next big hurdle in her life.
What I didn't like: I was growing a bit tired of her self doubt. Now that might be stupid to say because she's living with it not me. I just felt it was taking too long for her to gain some self confidence. I know that matters from person to person but I just wanted to jump in and give her a boost. I also thought some themes and lines kept getting replayed too much. I get that's how the life was but it kept digging in so much that some pieces of the story wasn't as interesting because I already heard the same thing 30 pages back.
I really thought this was a brave book. I think people who have issues with self loving or if they are trying to figure themselves out sexually can relate and enjoy this more. It's honest, brutal, yet funny. I think that's what makes it easy to jump in and then mattering who you are, easy to relate to.
