This book was bad. Just bad. I’m not sure how else to describe it because I really tried to like it but miserably failed. I thought this would be an expose of radical feminism and thought that has liberated women from dating men, or dating men correctly (if that’s a thing). But nope, it was just a self help guide for 12 year olds to learn how to navigate twitter and instagram incorrectly so their crush doesn’t know they’re obsessed, and Blythe’s deep obsession with men. I hated it and am seeking a trash bin to burn it.

As a fellow Sagittarius, I felt very *seen* while reading this book. Roberson delivers a hilarious commentary on the experiences of dating faced as a millennial woman. Truly accessible and relatable, one of my favorite reads so far this year.

I had such high hopes for this book, because I also date men and simultaneously hate them. 

At the risk of sounding like a pretentious Gen Zer, this book reads like a bad written-for-Millennials Buzzfeed article. It uses “hip” words (that are already outdated in 2022), with constant references to celebrities and pop culture that are attempting to be funny, but are really just coming off as “hey! remember this thing?” 

It is the peak of white woman-ness to be like “I’m acknowledging my privilege at the beginning of the book” but then never acknowledging or really even bringing it up again. 

It’s not funny, clever, or really even bringing up new ideas. Yes, the patriarchy is bad. (we know) This book had a lot of potential but just fell flat in every way.
