girl in need of a tourniquet review

One of the books that I was most excited to read in this year's Mental Health Book Bingo was Girl in Need of a Tourniquet by Merri Lisa Johnson. She talks about her experiences as a queer woman with Borderline Personality Disorder - I think you can see why I was so interested in reading …
