A review by mara_miriam
The End of Eve by Ariel Gore
3.0
What I liked about this book:
1. My sister's ambivalence had always been a different color than mine. p.30
2. Don't ever thank anybody for acting right. p. 128
3. I wanted to ward off all the hard things that hadn't happened yet. p. 171
4. Maybe I would try an experiment: I would proceed as if being a little bit needy wasn't the worst thing. p.189 5. But that in the end it isn't so hard not to ruin everything we love. p.213
That said, I could have done with less cultural name dropping. Also, memoirs just leave a bad taste in my mouth.
