emotional sad fast-paced

3.5

for the content (and the realness of personal issues this author writes about) broder does a topnotch job on communicating experiences and feelings in a way where she claims to know a little something about life and yet is absolutely not pretentious about it. when i first picked up the book, i was taken aback by the valley girl tone of everything, and somehow it seemed to reek of privilege, but i was wrong and there are certainly some beautiful takes here. am not a huge fan of the writing style but i finished this book because of her authenticity and truth and i think that trumps style preference any day. 

she writes about instances that are true, ugly, and yet are sentiments i immensely resonate with... just... never had the guts to claim. i will be reading more of broder for sure.
