'Carrie tells her story with mesmerizing often hilarious honesty reminding us that life is
just a million bad outfits nervous phone calls sleepless nights and clumsy kisses and yet
all of this adds up to something tremendous - staggering actually. I wept' Miranda July 'So
many times while reading this book I screamed "Yes!" inside. You can feel Carrie's visceral
guitar-swirling energy on every page. An amazing writer' Kim Gordon 'She can play but man
can Carrie Brownstein write . . . Her blazing memoir is lit by the same flair for adventure
fearless inquiry and honesty that mark her gritty licks and trenchant vocals' Elle
'Heartfelt and disarmingly honest Hunger Makes Me A Modern Girl is far from a regular tale of
rock'n'roll dissolution. It is instead a tale of a young woman with a complex interior life
struggling to grow up and find her identity . . . It is the story of her struggle to belong'
Independent on Sunday '[A] glorious grungy paean to losing yourself in music' Sarra Manning
