janiswong's review against another edition

hopeful inspiring reflective medium-paced

4.5

I really enjoyed reading this book after many positive reviews of Tolentino's writing. The short pieces brilliantly marry millennial culture with personal experiences that is contextualised to resonate with the audience. I particularly enjoyed Ecstasy for its clever interwoven stories and The Story of a Generation in Seven Scams that narrates how scandals in capitalism have shaped our society.
