I was gifted this book through a book exchange, and wow it scratched so many itches. Kisner’s writing felt both unique and familiar in that homey kind of way. I really really enjoyed it.

6 out of 5.
A revelation. Where last year's fav essay collection (Jia Tolentino's) TRICK MIRROR was a lens held to our narcissistic natures, THIN PLACES is a celebration of curiosity, of self-discovery. It is a reminder that there is still so much to know, out there. That it is okay to be curious, it is okay to change your mind, it is okay to not know something and try to find an answer for it. And Kisner (disclosure: a close friend) is a perfect guide. Her voice is warm, individual, and care-full. I would trust her to take us anywhere and I have no doubt, over time, she'll take us everywhere.

3.5! I did not care for the first and last essay but enjoyed the rest! Good Karma felt like it could be Didion.
