"Flea is a beautiful, rare, and delicate thing. It’s ephemeral and sad, hilarious, bittersweet, and exquisitely crafted."

— Leo Fox, author of Boy Island, Prokaryote Season

Flea is a young queer woman who simply wants to be heard. In a series of funny and sometimes harrowing vignettes, Flea must navigate her overbearing family, her clod of a boyfriend, and a world that sees her as invisible and insignificant. Alternating between expressive scribbles and naturalistic drawings, Flea grapples with her perceptions of herself and reality in an attempt to feel 'real,' and the results are both beautiful and horrible.

"Flea bit me! My heart swelled up. The only way to scratch the itch is to bounce my eyeballs across Ramirez’s pages over and over again like a pinball delighting in the narrative spell the author has cast!"

— Molly Colleen O’Connell, author of “Pebbles” & “Shriekers”
