I've seen this book popping up online and since I love a good memoir told in graphic novel form, I eagerly picked this one up. It's refreshing for me to read stories about those different from me so I can more easily understand the experiences others go through in their daily lives. I have never seriously questioned my sexual identity, but I have imagined the extreme stress and uncertainty those who are questioning have gone through. I feel like Eleanor did a really nice job showing various stages of her life where she did question who she was. I enjoyed seeing Eleanor as a child, teenager, and then young adult where she was grappling with who she was and why she felt so different from her peers.

Although this book is tagged as an adult book, I think it would be helpful for high school students to have as a resource, especially as many young people work through similar emotions on their own. There is nothing overly graphic or inappropriate in this book and I think it would be a fantastic resource for those young people who are trying to figure out who they are. Eleanor grew up lucky in the sense that she wasn't mercilessly teased for who she is or her interests. She has a supportive family. What I think will be most powerful for questioning young people is to see that there is another side to the questioning. Despite the inner turmoil and uncertainty, there can be strength and acceptance and love found on the other side of figuring out who you are.
