The second half of this book is where it really shines. Patricia Lockwood does a fantastic job of conveying emotions you’ve never thought about before in an empathetic and relatable way. This book is heartbreaking and beautiful. Highly recommend.

This book is smart, and funny, and devastatingly sad. 

I found this to be such an interesting book, with such growth and reflection and love showcased throughout. 

I don’t want to sound like an asshole or elitist but this book is just so smart. It takes a great amount of self awareness and reflection to understand what the author did here and it is really, really special.
