Acne by Laura Chinn
A Memoir
A darkly comic coming-of-age memoir about growing up in chaotic, working-class Florida while battling severe cystic acne, bouncing between unreliable parents and unconventional schools, chasing miracle cures through dermatologists and infomercials, and enduring the cruelties of adolescence. With sharp humor and vulnerability, it explores how beauty standards, poverty, and family dysfunction warp self-image, and traces a path toward resilience and hard-won self-acceptance.
