Why do some people’s daily foibles, triumphs, and wince-worthy moments make for such terrific fun? V. Davis treats us to snapshots of her life with drawings and words that seem fresh and never forced. Many graphic novelists describe their own memories, moods, and misgivings, but this book is so much better (i.e. funnier) than most. Even if one does not particularly wish to be ‘made into a woman’, this book may just make your day, as it did mine.Recommended by Jeeyeon

On the eve of her ninth birthday, Rose Edelstein bites into her mother's homemade lemon-chocolate cake and discovers she has a magical gift: she can taste her mother's emotions in the cake. She discovers this gift to her horror, for her mother, her cheerful, good-with-crafts, can-do mother, tastes of despair and desperation. Suddenly, and for the rest of her life, food becomes a peril and a threat to Rose, who must always know too much about the people she loves.
