" No one is safe from Nina Boutsikaris' gaze in this book— she looks at the world and people around her just as intensely as she turns her gaze inward, questioning her desires, her actions, and asking what it means to see something for what it truly is. I' m Trying to Tell You I' m Sorry pairs art with experience, youth with introspection, and gender with power— the dance between these topics makes for an utterly absorbing read." — Chelsea Hodson
