A memoir that slips outside of a music career to face mental health issues (her mom's anorexia, Brownstein's anxiety and depression). It's by no means a tell-all, bear your soul kind of memoir. Instead, Brownstein lays out how to deal with the aftermath: of a mom going to the hospital and staying there a while because of her disease, of an intense romantic relationship with her bandmate, of college hopes and possible careers, of feminism, and of the band itself. The chapter about her love of animals and her 4 pets is the most moving, but also doesn't seem to fit. Highly recommend this for those who love the Pacific Northwest, music, and the memoir genre. But, please, don't just read this because she's in Portlandia.
