9"YO (and all the other stuff hurting me too)" written by the Brazilian writer and comedian Nal Romano, will catch you from page one. The book is easy to read and hard to let go. Divided in two parts, the first part explores a chaotic and traumatic lesbian relationship, leading you through Nal 's peculiar documentation of a heartbreak. The second part, separated into the topics "dad, sister, y'all, other lovers, traumas and unsolved feelings," is a continuation of the author's raw, honest and creative way to express the many hurtful and relatable bitter experiences in life. With a unique voice and style, the book not only travels through the author's mind- it takes you with it. That's because you've probably never seen yourself relating to a jar of tomato sauce, or comparing your ex's with olives and plastic bags. You'll be surprised how you can see yourself in such things. But don't let the funny analogies fool you- you might find yourself crying just as much as you laugh. With a compromise in the simplest ways to describe pain, the book is an invitation to look at sadness in a different way, paired with illustrations by Brazilian artist, P rola Navarro. "You (and all the other stuff hurting me too)" is a book for those who like to feel every page till it's done... and beyond.
