some of the stories/essays in here were really really good and i’ll be thinking about them for a while. others weren’t really doing it for me. overall, i enjoyed this book though, even though it took me 200000 years to finish lol
Was hoping to love this but unfortunately was not interested in the topic or really even the writing.
“on keeping a notebook” and “on self respect” are my favorites from these essays. i might’ve enjoyed reading this even more than “the white album” because i thought the collection was more cohesive altogether. i wish i could have a conversation with her !

You either get Joan Didion or you don’t!!!! I loved let me tell you what I mean a little more but there are certain pieces in this one that hit differently at this stage of life. I also loved how Joan talked about New York in “Goodbye to all That” but recommend these to the girls in their 20’s: “On Keeping a Notebook,” “On Self-Respect,” “Some Dreamers of the Golden Dream,” and “Goodbye to All That”
