I hate rating memoirs. How can you say whether someone's life deserves 5 stars or less? So I try to focus on the execution instead.
This memoir isn't linear, so Penelope's life is shown through episodic comics. I liked the cartoony art style, and there's a mixture of lighthearted to darker moments. Like, most people's lives. Some of the moments of sexual assault and harassment aren't shown in a visually triggering manner, but it's all the same heartwrenching. Her Deja Vu comics and the one about her love of heat were the highlights.
I think I would've rated this higher if there was a more cohesive thread. This felt like blog posts packaged into a book, which isn't necessarily a bad thing.
