How to Be a Person in the World: Ask Polly's Guide Through the Paradoxes of Modern Life by Heather Havrilesky

3.0

I usually enjoy advice essay based books but I didn't really dig this one as much. Some of the answers/essays really spoke to me and I found the words to be spot on and touching. Some of the advice I didn't enjoy or didn't relate to or just simply didn't care about. I felt bad but I found myself thinking "Really, that's your biggest issue?" and I HATED feeling that way. But something about some of the pieces rubbed me the wrong way and I didn't find myself enjoying the full journey. There were absolutely some moments of greatness in here but not enough for me to really love this collection.
