Do I Feel Better Yet?: Questionable Attempts at Self-Care and Existing in General by Madeleine Trebenski
4.0
Madeline Trebenski hit the nail on the head here! For anyone who has EVER been given HeLpFuL unsolicited advice concerning their mental or psychical heath/wellbeing- and beyond. It’s a snarky little mood and I looourrrved it. I feel like having multiple copies in my purse for moments when people ask if I have tried Keto to help me lose weight. I can pass them out like prayer cards given to me in parking lots.
I feel like this type of satire can be absolutely lost on some people, which probably why I love it even more! I chortled multiple times. MANY TIMES.
Examples of the type of good things you will experience within:
“WELCOME. MY NAME IS ARNICA CELESTIALBODY, AND I’ll be your yoga instructor today.”
Karen had then audibly whispered, “Stacy, you KNOW how I feel about squares.” We stood there, baffled, until my partner spoke up, “How does she feel about squares?” The project manager shook her head and said, “Not good. She does not feel good about squares.”
Have You Tried a Duke? (This one exposed me, but damnit I still love my romance novels)
The essays also dip into everything from le toxic man to outdoor IG culture to raising chickens.
Writing in my gratitude journal about how happy this book made me.
