The review highlights diary excerpts, personal struggles with addiction, and candid reflections on fame. Recommended for fans of Against Me! and readers of queer memoir.

For:Fans of punk and Against Me!, readers of LGBTQ+ memoirs, and those interested in music industry memoirs.

 An autobiography that counts for two, as many as the lives closely entwined since childhood; the continuous moves around the world from one military base to another due to her father's work, the parents' separation, an initial glimpse of adolescence lived on the margins of Florida's conservative society and the discovery of punk, life in communes, the first band and concerts in basements, the troubles with the law, and addictions leading up to the first taste of fame with Against Me!.
