3.0
I didn’t find this collection of essays as strong as some of Robinson’s earlier works and I didn’t feel like they were all the same caliber or that they even all went together. However, some of the essays, were 5 star essays on their own. I highly recommend reading the essays on not needing another White savior, traveling while Black and on deciding to be child free. Robinson is like the really smart friend you look forward to brunching with and I look forward to her future works.

3.5 stars - I love Phoebe Robinson. These essays at times are researched well and poignant. The style could sometimes annoy me with the sheer volume of sidebars and a.k.a.’s.

I picked this book up and put it down again so many times over the last few months, but as with Robinson's other essay collections, this was well worth waiting. Best enjoyed with an excellent glass of wine, you can't help but laugh. Also - the essay about what it's like dating a British person is 100% accurate and hilarious.

I have no interest in business or 'building an empire' so this got to be a bit too much and I was eh about the ins and outs of it all (the necessity of firing a bad employee was not what I wanted to spend my time on).
