Plus, for a six-foot, blue-haired lesbian, it’s both a literally and figuratively stifling existence. While Ramona loves their home, she doesn’t love that pregnant Hattie’s slacker baby-daddy has moved in with them. ![]() Ever since Hurricane Katrina hit when she was five, she’s lived with her dad and older sister Hattie in a trailer as they ’ve struggle d to make ends meet. Ramona “Blue” Leroux feels like she’s outgrowing her small-town life in Eulogy, Mississippi. It’s a book that’s simultaneously fierce and soft funny and heart-wrenching, thoughtful and real. I was planning to skim through a few parts in my hardcover to prep for this post, but I couldn’t make myself stop reading– Ramona grasped me yet again and refused to let go, even a second time around. I’ve been itching to shout about Ramona Blue far and wide since I read a galley back in March. ![]()
