Book description
Why read it?
1 author picked Coming Clean as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
I loved this book from the first chapter! It was fun yet angsty and sexy yet sweet.
I adored the goth heroine (who felt like a real goth, not a cartoon goth), the discussion of the parasocial aspects of fame, the burdens of representation, and sustainable fashion. As someone who grew up in Los Angeles, Coming Clean felt very grounded in the city beyond just the Instagramable parts.
This was a fun, fast read with substance. I’ve been working my way through Trihn’s backlist ever since and it hasn’t disappointed!
