Written humorously, easy to delve into and enjoy. I did find it quite eurocentric and centred around cis/het culture but that's probably because it was written from Moran's personal life experience.

As a reader of quote dense non-fiction, it was a nice breath of fresh air to have a more narrative bolstering of my feminist identity. Granted, it lacked facts and evidence for the proclamations made and to me screamed “white femininism” in the priorities about naming body parts and choosing clothes rather than a focus on genuine social justice.
However, there were great chapters and conversations and explorations written in a HILARIOUS WAY, like I snorted when I laughed loudly on the train and went bright red. Especially the chapter on abortion or body image, those topics and her writing do well at solving personal qualms created by the patriarchy, rather than looking at a national scale or the more political side of feminism.
Overall, a funny and interesting book. I wouldn’t call it essential feminism literature, but on a personal level, this could help confirm your feminist identity, explore interesting points. As an overall non-fiction book, I do prefer far-reaching and social justice focus topics, looking at systemic attitudes more deeply and critically- but that’s a personal preference!
