Produktbeschreibung

For fans of You'll Grow Out of It, this comedic patchwork of flash-prose, essay, and poetry snapshots a millennial performance artist's journey from late bloomer to adult, inviting twenty-something women to embrace their self-worth, sexuality, and own-your-weird mentality. Growing up in Santa Barbara, California, way too close to the Hollywood dream machine, Jenna Tico's self-worth wanes to invisibility when her identity becomes enmeshed with validation from celebrities and spiritual F-boys . . . until she claws her way back to empowerment. Here, Tico shares vulnerable personal essays, stories, and poetryall grouped following the cycles of the moonchronicling her journey from late bloomer to full grownup. Observing the world of twenty-something relationships from perspectives as diverse as a bachelorette houseboat, a music festival afterparty, and the airplane ride to a death bed, she validates the experiences of women who feel like they have been abandoned by the generation that came before them. Her self-reflective stories encourage healthy life choices for young women without telling them where, what, or how to live their livesand always with a healthy dash of humor on the side. Simultaneously hilarious and poignant (without the whiff of morality play), Cancer Moon invites readers to embrace their twentiesaka the "age of wallowing"as a humorous and necessary step toward understanding how we become who we want to be in the world.
