What If This Were Enough? by Heather Havrilesky

3.0

This was interesting. Although I’m inclined to agree with a lot of the societal critiques in this book, Havrilesky sees things very differently than I do. She’s quite cynical to her core, and sometimes I would find myself chuckling at her complete horror at small descriptive scenes I wouldn’t have thought to be horrified by (“she’s so dark” I would murmur). And then she goes and writes an essay on true romance that is so beautiful in its description of daily love that I’m left in tears at the end so there you go. Not my favorite collection of essays, but I did enjoy them.
