Snippets
Page 117: “I started getting invited to sleepovers and birthday parties. Make-out sessions were common at these sleepovers, though they were considered “experimentation” and homophobia still managed to be rampant. And, of course, the girl I actually wanted to kiss never came to these gatherings.”
Page 267: “I hate how my nipples show through.”
Page 288: “Tillie is sitting across a table from a young man looking at a laptop. The illustrations on the middle of the page depict the young man turning his laptop around to show Tillie the nude woman kneeling with her left arm behind her head.”
