While reading this book, I remembered that Sassy was the first place I heard the term pro-choice in an interview, I think with Kate Moss... Weird! I was maybe 12 or so? I loved that magazine- thanks so much for this book!

This book makes me miss Sassy. It also makes me miss the days when Seventeen had short stories from amazing authors like Amy Tan and Tess Gallagher...

Hey! Thanks for the add. I was such a Sassy junkie in high school/college. It really was a life-changing magazine. Any chance that you will return to NYC on your book tour?

From my cover flap of HARLEY, LIKE A PERSON:

HARLEY, LIKE A PERSON was born from a short story, "Run Away," published in the original Sassy magazine. After it appeared, Cat received letters demanding to know what happened to the character. HARLEY, LIKE A PERSON is her response."

Cheers, girls!

At the Astor Place reading last night, I thought of something I hadn't in quite a while. I loved Sassy's "Say What" pages, and in high school I would cut out the poems, make collages, and put them on my bedroom door. I know there's a photo of the door buried in a closet in a dusty box in my dad's house. Anyway, one poem, by Sunny Harrelson, from Austin? Dallas? Texas began, "Life is good because Paula says so."

As we worked through our teenage angst, my best friend, also named Jennifer, and I repeated that line back and forth to each other. It made sense and gave us comfort as we popped each other's zits and had our first French kisses. In college I bought her one of those cheesy "Life is good" t-shirts as a token of our forever Sassiness.

Last night, the authors talked about how many of Sassy's readers grew up having a hard time finding people like them (meeee!), and how now the Internet allows teens, and us too, to meet more of the right people. They also mentioned that many former Sassies are now in media/publishing (me too!).

Though it's crossed my mind from time-to-time since the magazine (it was so much more than a magazine) folded, I didn't fully realize until last night how much my coming of age with Sassy impacts me even now. As I continue to find the right friends, figure myself out, and realize my potential, it's remarkable that a magazine I read 15 years ago still shines a guiding light in the right direction.

P.S. I’m reading the book during my subway commute – wonder if any conversations will strike up!
