Frida Kahlo resurrects as a social media influencer, a girl feeds all of her food to a bloom of angry ladybugs, a skunk funeral makes a young woman contemplate her life and more in Téa Franco's You Could Be That Kind of Girl. Through a series of coming-of-age stories, this collection explores family dynamics, race, and sexuality, creating an intersectional portrait of the female experience navigating the patriarchal expectations they face from before they are born to long after they die. The characters that populate Franco's collection have unique perspectives, often centering pop culture, and their stories show their strengths and their flaws as they attempt, and often fail, to decode the ever-changing rules they've been assigned. Téa Franco is a writer based in Indianapolis. She has fiction, poetry, and non-fiction published in Barrelhouse Magazine, Barren Magazine, Foglifter Press, and others. She co-edited Kiss Your Darlings: A Taylor Swift Anthology and teaches creative writing workshops. She is currently working on her first novel and received a travel grant from the Central Indiana Community Foundation to conduct research in Puerto Rico, where her family is from.
