In this graphic memoir, Fitzgerald paints a childhood full of sleepovers, playing dress-up, amateur fortune-telling and renting scary movies. Yet, Fitzgerald suspects that she is unlike her friends. The book navigates a child's struggle with averageness, a preteen's budding bisexuality and a young woman's return after rejection. Fitzgerald takes us from her first kiss to a life sworn to singlehood, while weaving in allusions to witches in history and popular culture. Long Red Hair alluringly delves into the mystique of red hair and the beguiling nature of alternative romantic relationships.

Review of 'Long red hair' on 'Goodreads'

3 stars

A nice little memoir with little to no direction. It wasn't only until the later half did the story start to have some sort of theme: focusing on figuring out her sexuality. However, I did like learning about these little events in her life and I can see how they shaped her as a person. Maybe if she took more pages to flesh some things out, I would have came out a little less disappointed.

Start: I was an introverted child, naturally suspect of most men and especially uncomfortable around those I wasn't related to.

Last: Yeah, I really like it.
