***** (5 stars)

This is a beautiful, inspiring, absorbing book. It isn't a traditional novel, nonfiction tome or memoir but instead a collection of self-published zines (if you're unsure what a zine is, then google is your friend) which were handcrafted by the author themself. As a result, the look of the book's pages are much prettier than that of an "ordinary" book, with text written on typewriters, computer and by hand and cute hand-drawn illustrations and embellishments, as well as cut-and-paste images.
