I both hated and loved this book, read it on a night shift at work. Found it to be challenging and reflective in part one yet also really annoying a lot of the time, whilst I think the second half was beautiful. Although I understood a lot of the media references in the book it was very america focused in terms of language and honestly the audience generally. I liked the lack of names used in the book and instead "she" "her sister" "the dictator".

Totally did not expect this to go the direction it did. Went from being funny, internet-inspired, white-lady randomness to something more serious.

I picked up this book at a sidewalk sale at @downboundbooks a few months ago after overhearing other folks talking about it and my only regret is not reading it sooner.

I cannot describe this book to you because I don’t know any other book like it, but know that I laughed so hard I cried in part one, and my entire heart was shattered in part two.

Lockwood continues to deftly explore contemporary lives. A major text on

abortion and the erosion of reproductive rights in the US

& social media, in a style that never fails to find just the right word.
