Oof, that was a long time to spend with such an unpleasant person.
This book has so much potential, and after debating on DFN-ing at 33%, I decided to follow through and finish the book because there were just enough enjoyable/relatable one-liners – like the few amazing finds after endlessly sifting through a thrift store’s goods.
I agree with the other reviewers who said this book was in the wrong format; that its plotless, non-direction and penchant for lists would have been better suited in a collection of essays. And also, I can get down with self-depreciating humor with the best of them, but there needs to be a balance. When the entire book is self-pitying it loses its comical aspect and becomes pathetic.

I have confused feelings about this book.
It has a lot of very interesting parts, entertaining with little humor.
The title, made me expect an entirely different story from what actually.

Occasionally funny and occasionally truthful. But mostly just like, cringey millennial whining and not the fun kind of cringe.
