I really enjoyed this book. I am Jill’s age and came out around the same time she did. It validated a lot for me.

A fun, light read that made for a perfect audiobook listen! I loved the nostalgic 2000s and 2010s pop culture references and musings on realising you're queer after everyone else seems to have decided for you.

I would say it's more a collection of personal blogs than essays, but my favourite was probably the story about the FBI turning up at her apartment which was genuinely laugh-out-loud funny.

It didn't change my brain chemistry or anything but not every book has to!

As a queer millennial who grew up chronically online, obsessed with pop culture, music, horror movies, and experienced a lot of the same coming of age type of events that Jill Gutowitz writes about in this collection of essays.. I really enjoyed this. A lot of the lower reviews seem to be coming from Gen Z readers who were not familiar with many of the references or found Jill's writing to be a little "too millennial" but I don't entirely feel like Gen Z was the intended audience of these essays anyway. This book isn't perfect, but I found many of the essay to be deeply relatable, entertaining, and nostalgic. I don't typically read a lot of comedic books, but this worked for me and was a lot of fun
