This book had several moments of blindingly good, soul-wrenching writing- those moments made me cry and rejoice in what Slate was doing. Those moments were brave and vulnerable and honest. The rest made me ask how many times I could tolerate a white feminist making jokes about balls and giving voice to her “quirky millennial” politics/personality. The womanchild, “I’m so small and delicate” of it all will work for some people, but I imagine most will find it grating and hard to understand. I think she knew that, which I applaud. Bravo to Jenny for writing this book for herself, but I may not have been the target audience.

i loved this book so much!!!!!! jenny slate has such a playful, thoughtful way of putting things that i often really related to and wholeheartedly enjoyed. i think “it’s so weird i love it” sums it up well. i am already looking forward to rereading this :) i would recommend not reading this all at once for maximum enjoyment!
