challenging dark emotional funny informative reflective medium-paced

5.0

I enjoyed this book greatly. Jia Tolentino’s dark humor and literary style makes this a great introspective read for those looking to reflex on other own womanhood and society’s definition. This is a novel I will return to again and I'm sure will offer greater insight into my sense of self.
