In reality, Moran herself got her start as a writer in similar fashion. I personally related to her rock-star-fixated character, having been the same way as a teenager, and let's face it, I still am.ĭespite dropping out of high school, she manages to get a job as a rock critic, and establishes herself by ripping to shreds any band she reviews. Moran's writing is highly self-deprecating and confessional. I looked it up afterward and saw it was actually a very-semi-autobiographical novel. I was confused - having read How to Be a Woman, which is memoir, I recognized some details from Moran's life, but others didn't sound right. The story focuses on the teenage years of a self-proclaimed fat girl, growing up in a poor family with her many siblings, who spends a good amount of her free time "wanking" and the rest of the time listening to alternative bands and lusting after boys. I truly think she is one of the funniest and sharpest modern feminist writers out there.
I was excited to read How to Build a Girl by Caitlin Moran. I've been using the Audible app which I think is reasonably priced at $14.95 for 1 credit/month and offers unlimited returns on books, so if one were inclined to return a book and reuse that credit, one could. OK, technically "audiobooks" since that's what seems to work best for me these days.
