For fans of You'll Grow Out of It, this comedic patchwork of flash-prose, essay, and poetry snapshots a millennial performance artist's journey from late bloomer to adult, inviting twenty-something women to embrace their self-worth, sexuality, and own-your-weird mentality. Growing up in Santa Barbara, California, way too close to the Hollywood dream machine, Jenna Tico's self-worth wanes to invisibility when her identity becomes enmeshed with validation from celebrities and spiritual F-boys . . . until she claws her way back to empowerment. Here, Tico shares vulnerable personal essays, stories, and poetry--all grouped following the cycles of the moon--chronicling her journey from late bloomer to full grownup. Observing the world of twenty-something relationships from perspectives as diverse as a bachelorette houseboat, a music festival afterparty, and the airplane ride to a death bed, she validates the experiences of women who feel like they have been abandoned by the generation that came before them. Her self-reflective stories encourage healthy life choices for young women without telling them where, what, or how to live their lives--and always with a healthy dash of humor on the side. Simultaneously hilarious and poignant (without the whiff of morality play), Cancer Moon invites readers to embrace their twenties--aka the "age of wallowing"--as a humorous and necessary step toward understanding how we become who we want to be in the world.
