2 stars - probably because I am in my 30s, not my 20s. The overall style of paraprose/prose poetry/snippets really appeals to me, but I know there are others who just do it better. Some clever highlights, but mostly a lot of "meh".

After reading the intro I tried to read only a few pages at a time, as I imagine you would if reading with friends. Still, I flew through this book. It's honest, relatable, and fun.

Some anecdotes and quips were better than others. There were a few I actually quite liked. However, the gross amount of copy errors in this book was so painful that it made me like it much less. Get a better editor, dude.

I was hoping to feel inspired or comforted by this collection, yet it only served to annoy me through the pretentiousness I perceived. I felt as though it was incredibly repetitive - simply using differing metaphors to explain and describe the same situation. There were also a ridiculous number of grammatical errors and typos - although this may be due to the fact that I read this on my Kindle which are notorious for mistakes.

This book would’ve been amazing to read when I was in my edgy middle school phase

Fast read, poetry, and vignettes. Full of emotion, wisdom, and honesty.

I thought this book would be simpler when going into it but it makes me think of monologues. those voice-overs during short films. to claire, from sonny comes to mind. i get a certain kind of nostalgia from reading this book. going on the internet during school and reading poetry about drinking wine in the bathtub and that thirst for the good experience of young adulthood, that freedom, and passion with life lessons. this isn't the best book. at times it's dreamy, other time it makes me want to yell 'wanker'. all the sad young literary men comes to mind - i only read the prologue for that book. He has read Bukowski... I think this is what The Subsect , the well known yet unknown book from Gilmore Girls is like.
