I Look Better In Binary

In the Midwest of the 1980s, being a Jewish girl meant trying to resolve your accidental love of ham with your desire to follow the rules and be a good kid. I Look Better in Binary tells the tales of writer Becky Pourchot’s adventures through puberty with poignancy and side-splitting humor. In a series of engaging stories, a picture unfolds of a thoughtful, creative, funny, and slightly neurotic girl who’s learning her way through the world one embarrassing experience at a time. It’s the unique, but also familiar story of growing up, facing fears, and, in the process discovering who we really are.
