Critics Review

“Heartbreaking and riveting, Jennifer Hayden’s caustic, sarcastic wit streams through her quirky drawings, unfolding a survivor’s tale and so much more. The Story of My Tits takes us from her flat-chested adolescence to small-boobed acceptance, then loss — until the dramatic reconstruction of Jennifer herself.” — Marisa Acocella Marchetto, author of Cancer Vixen and Ann Tenna

“The pacing of her storytelling is seamless… Hayden’s memoir will resonate with anyone who has suffered loss and gone on to tell the tale.” — Booklist
