I did not really enjoy most of this book. There was a lot of eye rolling. The author is an anxious person and listening to her self deprecating rambles and whining about how much she hates parties really gets old. Especially tedious was the chapter “sure sex is great but” which featured that phrase a million times each followed by things she compared to sex that implied they were supposed to be better… but about half of which were neutral at best and many of those seemed downright unpleasant. By the end I was mostly finishing it because a) I was on a long road trip and it beat staticky radio and b) I wanted an “I” author for my reading challenge. 

Also possible this isn’t my top genre… I also struggled to finish “I was told there would be cake” by Sloane Crosley.

Welp, I've fallen in love with another essayist and will be obsessively consuming all of their content and then descend into a depressive state when I run out of new stuff by them and stalk their Instagram until I die. This was HILARIOUS and RELATABLE and HEART-WARMING and SAD and DID NOT HOLD BACK and I LOVED IT. I listened to it on audio, which is narrated by the author, and I would highly, HIGHLY recommend that experience.
