yaoipaddle's review against another edition
This was my second attempt at reading this book. Last time was a dnf @ 22%.
Maybe I have outgrown this sense of humor but there is nothing delightful in Koul's disparaging and pessimistic mood throughout the entire book. She is so overwhelmingly negative and bitter and it does not improve and her writing displays zero awareness. Everyone she writes about is somehow painted in a negative light without fail. It is exhausting. You will gain nothing from this book.
Also for some reason my edition of the book had the n-word hard r in it multiple times but it seems like on Goodreads it has it censored. Not sure if my edition was how it was originally released. Which if true then what the fuck.
(I did relate to her in speaking abt immigrant life and online harassment but it is not enough to offset all the other shit you have to slog through.)

pastelwriter's review against another edition
I guess I’ll start by saying that I found it impossible to rate this. Despite the fact that I really enjoyed my time reading this, I couldn’t make heads or tails of what to rate this.
Mainly, what made this such a great reading experience was the humor. The humor with which the author tackled so many aspects of her life just made this such a fantastic read. The humor especially flourished in the author’s descriptions of her interactions with her parents and the rest of her family. Her relationship with her father was especially compelling for me. The two of them are definitely cut of the same cloth, and it made their relationship run far from smoothly.
One of the essays in here that really got to me was one where she discussed a friendship that she had which went south because the man had a drinking problem. It hit close to home both because of my own alcoholic/drug addict grandfather and because of how heartbreaking it is to me when friendships fall apart. The essay really crawled under my skin but in the best way possible.
The whole essay on Twitter as well was something else. The vitriol she has to deal with on Twitter is just horrible. I’m not sure I would be able to stay in the platform if I had to face the same horrible things thrown at me.
The essay on surveillance and sexual assault was also brilliant. I would definitely truly recommend it if you haven’t thought about how surveillance plays into men/people deliberately planning to sexually assault women/those who appear feminine.
All in all, I would highly recommend this collection of essays. I’m so glad I decided to read it on a whim with my friend because it certainly gave us things to talk about.
