review 1: I have such mixed feelings about this book. On the one hand it could be a feminist dream about a girl who gets shafted all the time.

I hate both sides, but I couldn't help loving this book, maybe because all sides are actually there in real life. The drawings are irresistible suggesting Chris Ware and Daniel Clowes. This must be Midwestern style - all three live in Chicago, specifically Oak Park. And it's wonderful.
