I reviewed this little personal zine a few years ago, and didn’t like it too much. OK, so it’s a little on the glum side. Erin uses the zine as a tool for self-discovery and healing. But in the meantime she’s learned some good layout skills (it really looks nice!) and started paying a little more attention to grammar. It’s still filled with her compelling stories about life, the people closest to her and her battles with loneliness, sadness and illness. It still feels an awful lot like reading someone’s diary. That’s OK though, because Erin shoots from the hip, and ain’t afraid of who’s reading and what they might think. (Emily Pohl-Weary)
