I HOPE YOU (DIE) LOVE ME

At times both heartbreaking and hilarious, this memoir from ‘80s icon Moon Unit Zappa reads as an offbeat love-letter to her father, rock legend Frank Zappa, but also takes an unflinching look at the perks and pitfalls of growing up in a counter-culture, boundary-bending environment. Unlike many other famous kids her age, she managed to steer clear of cults, drugs, and raging egos, and emerge largely intact. A clear literary talent, Moon retraces her steps in a way that’s funny, frank, emotional, and unequivocally herself.
