This was fun and made me giggle a lot and also made me sad/angry about the patriarchy! Cool! This book could be turned into a great stand up special imo
Very funny in parts, and even inspiring, but not as organized as I would have preferred. Roberson is kind of all over the place in some of the chapters.

This was a really entertaining read, though I’d say it doesn’t really fit the title for most of the book (the only reason I didn’t give 5 stars).
I really enjoyed this. I'd classify it more societal commentary comedy over self help. Totally bought it for the title because obviously but it was a good read, I think it did prompt me to think critically. A good basis for a conversation on how as much as you are the main character in your own life, other people also exist and have feelings and experiences, and how those two concepts simultaneously coexist in reality. I like the acknowledgement of privilege and the different types while still keeping this a light read. Reinforcing the idea of doing things for yourself and enjoying your life by whatever definitions you decide.

ZERO FUCKING STARS. i dont read advice books. i needed to read one for school. i thought by picking a modern one i was going to escape the tropes advice books have. nope. this is awful. the author is biphobic, panphobic, transphobic, and racist. run from this book like hell unless you need an advise book to criticize for a college women studies class.

Pitched as a philosophical book on how oppressive structures affect modern dating, and it did not deliver. The book. The topics covered are relevant, but the author barely scratches the surface before moving on to the next topic. Her humor comes off as mockery, but she says she's being totally serious. Is she making fun of feminists? Because it's either that or she's literally just not funny. It's also the most millennial thing I've ever read (in the most horrible way possible). The way she talks about romance comes off extremely childish—"boys I've kissed" is a stupid phrase, everything sounds like it's coming from a middle school girl's mouth. I agree with the author that writing about dating is important, but I think this book contributed to the issues she talks about in the introduction—people see writing about dating and men as vapid and self-involved, she sees that this is a problem, and then she continues to write one of the most self-involved books I've read ever.
