Critics Review
Laura Jane Grace shows great bravery diving into every detail of a story seldom told, with the advantage of having kept journals documenting everything she went through, from childhood to the beginnings of her band. Capturing the pain and struggle, self-doubt and lack of support she experienced, Grace provides a valuable starting point for a conversation to broaden the understanding of, and empathy for, trans people. * Joan Jett, Billboard’s 100 Greatest Music Books of All Time *
An ambassador for the gender revolution currently sweeping through public restroom policy and National Geographic covers [and] a potent tool for empathy that hasn’t quite existed in pop culture….Grace and co-writer Dan Ozzi spin green room drama and rock star recklessness into a gem of a rock bio that belongs on a shelf alongside Hammer of the Gods and Get in the Van. * Paste Magazine, Best Nonfiction Books of 2016 *
A full-length tell-all about Grace’s lifelong journey to discovering, accepting, and at last publicly acknowledging her true identity….[told] with daring candor…the memoir establishes her as at once a transgender icon and a modern day heroine. * Harper’s Bazaar, Best Books of November *
A savagely candid transgender memoir, and thus far, the only quintessential text regarding Against Me!–one of the most significant punk bands of the aughts and onward. Without a smidgen of sarcasm, I would highly recommend the book to your grandmother, even if she is afraid of transpeople and can’t name three Clash songs. * Esquire *
