Lose your best friend because you finally Came Out. Spend days driving aimlessly because there's nothing to do. Serve your rapist breakfast because you need your job. Fall asleep to gunshots and sirens because that's the only sense of home you've ever known. Hold hands with ghosts. Your life is in pieces, but you can't be broken. Wipe off the blood. Tired of being told who to be, what to wear, how to act and who to fuck. Break the rules and learn fast how to never get caught. All you need is nothing, but you're happy with your car, guitar and camera. Throwing around polaroids of tits like they're money, you swap stories about adventures and realize that we're all running away from something. "Tiffany Scandal is one of the most exciting new voices to emerge in years. A deft, masterful mix of both bizarro and horror. I definitely can't wait to read what she writes next!" --Brian Keene, author of The Rising and Ghoul "Powerful scenes, real characters, unforgettable images, and a climax that satisfies both the story and the reader simultaneously. Yes, yes, yes." --Laura Lee Bahr, author of Haunt "The way Scandal writes would make Hemingway proud." --Horrornews.net "Scandal has all the makings of a great storyteller." --JS Breukelaar, author of American Monster

Review "Tiffany Scandal knows how to harness her words as a powerful vehicle." -Huck Magazine"Visceral and unpredictable, this book is a narrative that's distinctively told, with many a nod to punk rock incorporated into the larger work." -Vol. 1 Brooklyn"Such a vivid attention to detail to her work that you can't possibly see everything she's put into it. She's a puzzler." - Shane Cartledge via Electric Literature"Tiffany Scandal is Lindsay Hunter's literary punk rock sister." -The Next Best Book Club"Scandal's writing-direct, willful, violently alive." -Alex Kalamaroff via Entropy"Tiffany Scandal is a force of brutal talent"- Rios de la Luz, author of The Pulse Between Dimensions and the Desert

By david Bridges 4.5 Stars...Excellent book that consist of interconnected vignettes that pack a fierce emotional punch. Each one of these stories are centered around the experience of a young lesbian women struggling with her place in a society that isn't exactly designed for her. Scandal writes eloquently about homophobia and sexism. I imagine her characters experiences mirror those in real life especially those of non white straight males. The stories themselves as well as the characters within are strong and rebellious and written with a lot of heart.Jigsaw Youth can been read it 1 or 2 sittings for sure but it will stick with you for a much longer period of time. "Your Scent" is one of the most disturbing things I have read in a long time. It is by no means gratuitously disturbing, but disturbing in a way that imagining the prevalence and reality of it makes my stomach turn for those who have experienced it. With that being said there is humor and love in the stories as well, see "Henry Rollins Walks Into A Bar" for example. I would recommend this to fans of Denis Johnson's Jesus' Son or Kyle Minor's Praying Drunk but Jigsaw Youth has a hipper punkier edge to it. I will definitely pick up future releases from Scandal. This is also my first read from Ladybox Books which appears to be off to a good start in my opinion.
2 of 2 people found the following review helpful. Like an episode of Behind the Music, but one I'd actually enjoy By sean If there's one thing that drives me crazy, it's when people write about bands. It's always the same story - an already popular dude (ALWAYS a dude, never a girl) buys a guitar and instantly becomes even cooler than before, people move in unrealistic ways to some lame music that the author tries to convince you is cutting edge, heaping amounts of drugs and alcohol are consumed, but rarely cause realistic results to the party-happy dorks in the band UNLESS that's the key plot point that is used to advance the protagonists boring, generic story. I've been in bands for over 20 years - that is NOT how it goes.So I'm very happy to say, this is NOT what Tiffany Scandal does in Jigsaw Youth. Instead, we get a realistic story of real people and their struggles, and they're ACTUALLY girls who sound like they'd start a band. We focus on Ella and her life, her family, her jerk boss, her sexuality, her supposed friends, and the girls she meets along the way.It's a coming of age story of a girl who grew up in the 90s (is that Generation X? Y? whatever...). Maybe I liked this a lot because I could relate to some of it - the death of Kurt Cobain, packing into a vehicle and driving somewhere we've never been and playing our songs to people who have no idea who we are, relationships that are doomed but still grasping on by a thread. There are so many stories like this, so many true stories with similar timelines, but this one is done right. It's written well, it's convincing, it's at times exciting and fun, at others providing the heartbreaking reality check that really does happen in life.Parts of Jigsaw Youth could easily be a chapter out of a non-fiction book about the riot grrrl scene. It's a great read from an up and coming new voice in fiction. Where There's No Happy Ending and Plasticine show Scandal's creativity and ability to put together dark, nihilistic stories, Jigsaw Youth signifies the next step up, topping previous works and opening up so many more possibilities for what might come next. It's a quick read (I finished in one short sitting), and while it's not perfect (what is?), it is a great story that stirs up those memories of starting a band back in your younger days, only with different characters in place of our friends.Also...first.
1 of 1 people found the following review helpful. Five Stars By . LOVED this book!!! Tiffany Scandal is a promising and exciting new voice. I read her first book, "There's No Happy Ending", and found it oddly charming and dear, considering the apocalyptic plot. No matter the fantastical genre that is Bizarro Fiction, Scandal's voice in her first book is sincere, lucid, fresh. This said, I was excited to learn she published another book, "Jigsaw Youth." The premise is interesting. It is a coming-of-age story of a modern young woman. She is at the tail-end of "Generation X" (by some of the details revealed), but could easily be "Generation Doe", as many of the feminine themes touched upon transcend generational limits and/or boundaries.This story is told in fragments; glimpses into the protagonist Ella's past. This is a beautiful story construct, as it seems to correspond perfectly to Ella's fragmented life itself. There were so many moments in the story where I wanted to cry, laugh, or just smile at the heart and spirit of Ella. There were many profound moments, too, in this book that I did not expect. "Steel Arms", "Subservience", "Still Remains"--I could hear these chapters being discussed at length in a Women's Studies class, at a random university!Beyond the confines of "realistic fiction" or "creative non-fiction", this book celebrates an essence of what it is to be a woman--our beauty, our charm, our joy, our grief, our sorrow, our pain, ... our hopes, our dreams. Of course Ella's jigsaw of a life--a suicide girl, draped in punk fabric--is not every woman's reality. At the heart of Ella's character, however, is a person many of us can love and relate to, simply for being a woman, and all the adversity this reality can often entail.Excellent job Tiffany Scandal. And congratulations to the publisher, Ladybox Books, for publishing this new voice. I look forward to Scandal's next book!
