dark emotional funny lighthearted fast-paced

Fascinating to see how much the needle has shifted on women in comedy, rape jokes, online harassment, abortion, and body positivity/neutrality since this was published in just 2016. Lindy is an exceptionally engaging, thoughtful, funny, empathetic writer, and I really had a good time with this.

I loved this book. It's quite funny, but not all fun because Ms. West addresses a lot of really tough subjects. But I love reading her thoughts.

I related to a lot of what was discussed in this book. Some of it I obviously couldn’t relate to and I understand why she wrote about it, but it wasn’t what I was expecting to read about. This is also very much not intersectional( I feel like I’m using the wrong word). It’s kind of white feminism, but not if that makes sense.
