Any books with wlw and the punk scene, or like that is set in the 90s, with grunge this kind of shit.

Stray City by Chelsey Johnson, Grrrls on the Side by Carrie Pack, Everything Grows by Aimee Herman, and Tegan & Saras memoir, High School, are good places to start. And I cant not mention that my story in All Out, Mollys Lips, is set at Kurt Cobains vigil.
