Raw and affecting, and hard to read, but somehow also a kind of narrative that feels effortless to read because of how the words and art are constructed. Very unique and memorable.

I LOVED this book! It's set in the 1970s and follows a 15 year old girl through her life. The subject matter is pretty sad and there was a lot of "oh my god" moments for me but I still loved it ??

You guys should definitely check out this movie as well, it has Alexander Skarsgård in all his hunky goodness ?

*Ignore my needy cat* I picked this book up in NYC last month, virtually knowing nothing about it. I almost NEVER buy a book on a whim. My must-buy list is too long 😂 But excited to check it out!!

Part graphic novel, part epistolary novel, this was a bit hard to read at times because of the absolute rawness of Minnie and her life. It seemed so unflinchingly real, and spoke to my own self as a teenager, mostly in a way I would rather forget. This won't be for everyone, but it is illuminating to the way teenagers act and feel.

wonga i'll have to check this out since i really liked the movie! 🎥 👍 8y

I got in just about as much reading time as I hoped for one day. It's unseasonably warm this weekend so I wanted to make sure that my kids got to spend some time outside. I read whenever possible though and finished three books and read portions of two more, as well as reading two serial issues this morning. We'll see what tomorrow holds! I hope everyone else had an excellent day too! #24in48

Oooh, this graphic #epistolary novel (and the film that stemmed from it) came in like a wrecking ball and wre-eh-ecked me when I read it last fall. This book's unflinching perspective on the sexuality and coming of age of a teen girl made me want to hug her and clap for her at the same time. It is unflinching and heartfelt. Some parts were hard to read, but it's an important book for women to have access to. #readjanuary

RiotMom So good! Did you see the film version? 8y
courtney @RiotMom yes! I loved it (even though it put me in the weirdest contemplative mood) 8y
RiotMom Yeah, it was definitely that kind of film. I loved Bel Powell in that role, though. She was perfect! 8y
Reviewsbylola I just checked this out from the library but I think I will save it for the readathon. 8y

I went into the library for one book and came out with three. Could be worse. 😂 Anyone have any feedback on these titles? #libraryhaul

RiotMom We watched the film version of Diary of a Teenage a Girl and it was pretty good! 8y
Reviewsbylola The format seems really fun so I'm excited! @RiotMom I didn't realize there was a movie so I will have to keep that in mind. 8y

beaniebankbeth I read Diary of a Teenage Girl for a college class. It is incredible. The author was at one point anatomical artist, whose job was to draw for medical textbooks, and it definitely shows. 8y
Reviewsbylola Apparently not me! 😂 @BethFishReads 8y
Reviewsbylola Very interesting! @beaniebankbeth 8y
Sfox414 I second @RiotMom -- the Diary of a Teenage Girl movie is definitely worth a watch! 8y
Cinfhen Nope, haven't heard of any 🙊but I'm curious to hear your thoughts on all of them! 8y

Lots of fucked up things happen to Minnie, and yet she is so full of agency and will and emotion. What a ride.

After watching the movie adaptation of this book and falling in love with the movie I bought to book. And I am so glad I have it is so good, the best coming of age book I have read. So brutally honest and beautiful. At the end of the movie it says "For all the girls who have grown." That is all there is to be said.

Reviewsbylola This looks great!! 8y
Cortg I loved the movie...I'll have to read the book low! 8y
TheLazyReader @Cortg You should definitely read it. I am also desperately fallowing Marian Heller who directed the movie to see if she will be directing anything else. It was her first movie can you believe it? 8y
Cortg @TheLazyReader Thanks for the bit o' info, I had no idea 8y

I don't know how I have never read #phoebegloeckner but this book is brilliant. It is a very honest portrayal of a teenage girl discovering her sexuality, the best I have read. #thediaryofateenagegirl

Squalor is cozy to me and I love to place myself in situations of potential danger. My recklessness does not please me. I know that my sordid tastes are the expression of a death -- I want to punish myself -- I want to punish other people -- I long to be alone but I long to be loved. The pain I feel is leading me into darkness.

Loves the way this story is told. I was drawn to it because I love comics, the 70's and feminist issues. Highly recommended if you do as well. #thatswhatsheread #2016readingchallenge #readhard #readharder #readingharderest #bibliomaniac #feministreads #booknerd #allthebooks

"I feel so awkward and ugly and naive and lonely. Maybe I should kill myself maybe I should paint a picture. I always want to be touched. I don't know what's wrong with me." I wish I had read this book when I was younger, although now is good too. I think any age is the right time to read it.
