Synopses & ReviewsPublisher Comments:Beth Lisick's memoir takes a side-splittingly hilarious look back at her journey from suburban goody two-shoes to San Francisco Alterna-mom.
Beth Lisick was a cheerleader, a homecoming princess, and a star athlete with a Crisco-aided tan and a bad perm. And then everything changed. How exactly did this suburban girl-next-door end up as one of San Francisco's foremost chroniclers of alternative culture, touring as the only straight woman with a band of punk rock lesbian poets and living in illegal warehouses? All while managing to get married, buy a house and have a baby? Lisick explains it all in her hilarious, irreverent memoir, Everybody into the Pool. Review:"Lisick offers bright, funny takes on her square upbringing....Exaggeration in the interest of a good story is no sin, and Lisick is above all an accomplished storyteller. Light, flippant and savvy." Kirkus Reviews Review:"Readers who like their memoirs with loose ends neatly tied will not necessarily appreciate Lisick's breezy style; a number of one-time references are left unexplained....Still, these stories most definitely entertain." Library Journal Review:"Fizzy and delightful... The tales veer from razor sharp to hilarious, and it's a voice — both offbeat and upbeat, wised-up yet curiously wholesome — that you're going to want to hear a lot more of. A." Jennifer Reese, Entertainment Weekly Synopsis:Lisick's memoir takes a sidesplittingly hilarious look back at her journey from suburban goody two shoes to San Francisco "Alterna-mom."
