Girl Gone Wild — Courtney Kocak on Her Debut Memoir, Sex Work & Reproductive Rights | Totally Biased Reviews

Courtney Kocak reviews her debut memoir Girl Gone Wild with Totally Biased Reviews host Asha Dore. A candid conversation on 1990s girlhood, reproductive rights, and writing personal truth. Find Girl Gone Wild here: https://www.amazon.com/Girl-Gone-Wild-Courtney-Kocak/dp/1949487547 GIRL GONE WILD is a collection of exploits and delusions about chasing your dreams with reckless abandon and what happens when their pursuit becomes a new kind of trap. In this memoir-in-essays, Kocak takes readers along on her heady metamorphosis from girl to woman and from dreamer to professional artist, as she is transformed in this unwitting feminist coming-of-age. It's a wild, cringeworthy, and often heartbreaking tale, but with Kocak's wry wit and clear-eyed accounting, it's nothing short of captivating.
