To Be Read Thursday: Pieces of a Girl

 Pieces of a Girl

By Stephanie Kuehnert

Published January 1, 2024

Years before she would become a published author…years before she would find a voice and a home in the Riot Grrrl movement and emerging zine community, Stephanie Kuehnert struggled to find her place. Told in varied narrative styles, including journal entries, original illustration, and pages torn from her actual teenage diaries and zines, this is the story of Stephanie Kuehnert’s life as a struggling outsider who survived substance and relationship abuse to become a strong and powerful young woman after years trapped in a cycle that sometimes seemed to have no escape. From the author of Ballads of Suburbia and former Rookie contributor Stephanie Kuehnert, this bold and bare memoir about a life shaped by music and writing is unflinching and devastatingly honest.

While I was book tasting I came across this book with a bright cover, it looked interesting so I read the summary. I am interested in reading this book because it shows a different outlook on life, one that most people do not think about. I like to understand how different people would view a situation they are in versus how I would view their situation as if I were in their shoes. I always enjoy reading books that are based on a person's real experiences and I think I would really enjoy this book.
