Even the Good Girls Will Cry

“A memoir about Melissa Auf der Maur growing up in the crazy ‘90s rock scene and playing in bands like Hole / Smashing Pumpkins. I'm not even into this music but the story is very introspective —mixing music, grief & womanhood”

“Great book by Melissa Auf der Maur. Reminded me of all the bands I loved in the 1990s.”

“Reliving this decade felt so damn good. I can’t say I’m a Hole fan but I appreciated the trip down memory lane, living my formative years, ages 16-26, through the 90s. It’s a fun read.”

“Currently consuming the audiobook”

“I have cried reading every page so far. The way Melissa reflects on her childhood; how being raised by activists and artists lead her to be confident, caring, curious, and a deeply feeling and seeing woman is all that I can ask for as a mom.”

“I became obsessed with Hole as a pre-teen back in the day when i first saw my mom’s cassette of Live Through This on a shelf in a spare bedroom. I immersed myself in this book for two weeks and really loved it. Melissa’s storytelling is very descriptive and deep. It is also a nostalgic trip through the late 80’s and 90’s.”
