Good set of essays on socialism in the 2010s, with some personal anecdotes thrown in. Amber is a very smart, and strong person and it shows in her writing. Some parts felt like they had little relation to what had come before or after, and some chapters didn't feel consistent within themselves, but I was captivated by what she had to say. I would recommend this to any millennial socialist who doesn't know where to go from here, not because this book offers any answers, but because it will make you feel less alone.

Love her willingness to roll her eyes and move forward. We need more of that. Occasionally felt like I wasn’t fully understanding her anecdotes——couldn’t help but have instincts that she needed some more storytelling amidst the commentary to fully cement the purpose of her writing. I value her honesty and I value her sense of humor. And I sincerely
hope to find more people on the left like Amber.
