Review

In
contrast to her previous book, in which she spends a great deal of time
drawing parallels between herself and her father, Bechdel’s memoir about her
mother is disengaged and distant. It’s an analytical examination of their
differences and a search for the exact moment when the invisible “gap” opened
between them. People who enjoy reading psychology cases and therapist notes
will find this interesting, while those expecting something personal will
probably find it too dry and academic.

A
coming of age story for all ages, this book follows Charlie, a sensitive and
intelligent young man traversing the treacherous waters of high school.
In essence, Charlie's story is about individual moments and being as
alive as possible in each moment--from the highest highs of first love to the
lowest lows of loss and family tragedy. Beautifully and honestly
written.
