"Tommy Dorfman is as funny as she is self-aware, as bold as she is beautiful, and has turned her remarkably specific life into something wildly universal. This collection will ask you to reckon with what it means to define yourself in a culture hell bent on defining you--required reading for anyone who has ever rejected the story other wrote for them in order to write their own, and for anyone who wants to but doesn't have the tools yet."--Lena Dunham

"In Tommy Dorfman's hands, evolution is nonlinear and kaleidoscopic: in some ways fated from the beginning, in others not guaranteed but slowly earned. Her memoir resists simplicity at every turn. It might have been easier to write as a past tense proclamation, but Dorfman creates from the present, the messy middle, which is all we have. Maybe This Will Save Me is at once a love letter to the person she's been all along and to the mysterious, unending process of becoming."--Chloe Benjamin, New York Times bestselling author of The Immortalists

"A fiercely honest account of a whirlwind youth, and of the hope among the wreckage. Dorfman is sensational."--Nicole Dinan, author of Bellies

"Combustibly propulsive... Translating her full life to this fully engrossing book, Dorfman asserts herself as this kind of artist, too: an imaginative and truthful writer in steady ownership of her story." --Booklist, STARRED review
