About the Book

Being Lolita is a stunning coming-of-age memoir of obsession, passion, and manipulation, shining a bright light on our shifting perceptions of consent, vulnerability, and power. This is the story of what happens when a young woman realizes her entire narrative must be rewritten―and then takes back the pen to rewrite it. Being Lolita comes out August 4th. Order your copy here.
