Hard to Love: Essays and Confessions by Briallen Hopper
3.0
I think I just came into this book with different expectations than what was actually in here.
I was expecting a lot of essays diving into Hopper's embracing of spinster-hood and valuing friendship in a way that isn't often seem in American life. And to be fair, most of her essays were shaded by these concerns. However, she used them as a lens to talk about other media. While I enjoyed reading about Cheers and Cards-Against-Humanity style Moby Dick, I wanted more specific about Hopper's wrestling. Oh well.
