This book surprised me SO MUCH. I consider myself a Jenny Slate fan, but not to the point that I was even aware that she had a book come out and that I read it right away. Nope, I really just stumbled upon this book when I saw someone I follow on GR post updates as they read it. I was intrigued by the title and cover, checked the GR page and saw a few rave reviews by people I follow. I was sold! Checked it out from my library and dove right in. Within 30 pages I was crying because of the beautiful writing and because of Jenny Slate's wonderful brain. I wanna live in there. I don't relate 100% to everything she wrote in here, but so much of it I do relate to.
I love love love this book. Highly recommend.
I am an example of a specific way of spending time and feeling existence in this world.
Wow, how'd she do it? How did Jenny manage to make me crave and yearn for the better and still hold myself back because heartbreak ain't worth it. How? The prose of the book was something similar to what 10 year old me narrated a lot in that imaginative brain back then. Heading deeper into the book, the theme got more intimate and personal to the point you put the whole book down, and have to take that deep breath. Wow, I just read that..
Rating: 4.7 ☆s
ok i LOVED this book and also some parts of it rubbed me the wrong way and i can't say why and i know that's a terrible thing to say but that's why it gets 4.5. jenny slate clearly has a lot going on in her little head and it is very abstract and endearing and absurd.
